PD list:

I guess I'm a bit irritated by this "lurker" discussion.  Why not just call 
all who've signed on to this list - "a participant" - yes, some more active 
than others.  Just like with any group - you will have those that dominate 
or over-contribute, those that contribute appropriately, and those that 
watch the discussion and maybe don't contribute (and all the descriptors 
in-between) - and just like with any group, all these roles are important 
and valid.  Most of us are in education, so we should know that people 
learn differently AND participate differently - and that is OK!  And maybe 
these comments have been made by someone already as I find it difficult to 
keep up with all the contributions that are made to this list, but I'm a 
believer in review and reinforcement, so I'll post these comments anyway.

Yours truly,
the lurker, listener, sometimes-contributor, voyeur, sinner...
