I should also add, for anyone currently lurking and reading this thread...

I have absolutely no problem with people who 'lurk' because they arent sure if they want to post yet either because they dont feel that they can contribute or, they feel they may be ridiculed for whatever reason.

Lurkers are one of the things that keeps GWW 'organic' in the sense of its growth, after a while they will come of out hiding and introduce themselves and be welcomed by pretty much all of the regulars on GWW.

The lurkers i have a problem with are the ones who deliberately hang around until they have a chance to 'win' something, start posting, then vanish once the prize has been awarded. Just like the surfers who are never going to end up buying a membership to one of our sites, but would happily visit members areas using traded passwords.

Regards,

Lee
