I also feel this is a great shame, the forum is a great leveller we all know something and nothing. To me no piece is without value as long as it is not fantasy or tourist. though good quallity old tourist work may well be in your collection already

Just another thought. The fact that it is such a leveller might put people off.

For me, mostly lurker, it's very simple. I post and/or reply when there is
something I know a little about; otherwise I just read and learn.

I perfectly agree with you Rich.

My father used to say : "If you have nothing to say, then say nothing" !

Even if I do not post every day, I like this forum because for sure I will learn something new every day. It opens your mind with subjects you wouldn't consider otherwise.

But for sure, I agree that if a "lurker" like me knows something about the content of a thread, he or she MUST participate for the advantage of all the panel.

Sincerely,
Zan

It is also important for lurkers and newbies like me to ask a few questions, sometimes (often) they have been asked before (so dont forget to check the archives) but each new question may spark an additional thought or bit of information from the folk with real expertise.
