2g. Delurking
As the statistics indicate, there are apparently tens of thousands of
readers of RAB. With only an average of 150 posts per day (many by the
same people), the number of "lurkers" who read but don't post is very
high.
You can "delurk" by the simple act of posting a message, whether it is
in response to a thread, a simple question, or an introduction (telling
us who you are, what bodmods you have, or what you JUST got or will soon
be getting).
If you mention that you're delurking, you'll be welcomed into the
RABbit community by others, including Heidi Anderson, who changes the
subject heading to read "Welcome! Re:..." There was some debate as to
the benefits of these welcome postings, which used to be done by
former RABbit Pirate Nick Baban. The consensus is that it helps to
keep our family spirit. However for those who have no desire to read
such posts, please include this subject heading in your killfile.
