bp,

Anyone who has regularly lurked this thread is aware of a "clubby" atmosphere

I'm not sure that all the lurkers want you speaking for them any more than all the pariticpants would want me or anyone speaking for them. As I've often said, I hate generalizations.

Remember that we're not here to serve the lurkers. We welcome them, but there's no question that participants' perspective is inherently different from the lurkers' perspective. We participants welcome the responsibility for the quality of our thread. We embrace the notion of being held accountable. Lurkers, by definition, don't share that with us.

In that context, I think it's unreasonable and maybe unfair to expect participants to pay a lot of attention to lurkers who join the thread only to point out our presumed deficiencies, when they don't join us to participate in the posts that address the core of our thread.

Don't wish to beat a dead horse here...

I hope you can appreciate that I find that a little difficult to believe. On that and other topics, I hope you welcome my disagreement with you as wholeheartedly as I welcome your disagreement with me.
