I lurk, therefore I am.

I've lurked here since Agent version 0.99c came out, which is probably about 1995 or so. I don't
turn much any more. More into regular woodworking now. Still, this group has always been friendly
and open, and quick to respond to peoples questions. Like rec.ww, it seems postings are down since
so many ISP's dropped Usenet groups.

The two posters I miss most are Fred Holder and George. Fred was always helpful with any question
people asked, and helped me out with advice more than once. He was a big proponent of making your
own tools and accessories, something I like to do very much. I think he may still drop in once in a
great while, but it has been a long time since he was a regular poster.

George sometimes seemed to have the knack to rub people wrong, which generated much spirited
discussion and debate, some of it about the participants probable ancestry and personal habits.
However, the group was certainly lively at those times.

Well, back into lurk limbo. Look for my next post in another five to ten years!

Regards,
Roy

There are a fair number of regulars in this group, as many if not more
drop ins looking for answers to What, Where and How, and a whole
bunch of lurkers - who hopefully will become participants.

So how'd you get here, why, and what's missing?
