(At least I hope it's still "above" by the time I submit this!)
Hi Lurps, pleased to meet you! Thanks, but actually it was Dinah's request for info on how things are going.
While I'm here, I'll say as briefly as I can, which is not my strong suit allllll.... I've seen you ask for comments on why people post a lot sometimes and not others; why lurkers stay lurkers or not; or something to that effect. My own answer would be: I'm always trying to contain my Internet "addiction" (or trying to try... or thinking about trying to try...). It's hard enough for me to stay offline and not be "researching" one thing or another obsessively at all times, but when I add in actually taking the time to interact, and compose stuff when I can't even type... kaboom goes my so-called real life!!
I think that's true of many people, as to why they don't post. They're actually trying not to, even if they'd love to. For me, if I just get a few weeks, months or years behind me where I haven't posted, as long as I "don't break the seal" I'm pretty safe reading. But once I start posting... *sigh*
Have a spiffy weekend!
Best,
CQ

I also think he would like some scholarly feedback about putting together a workshop for toronto. This thread has been going on forever, but at some point Dr. Bob asked if folks were interested in helping and if we could meet in chat to discuss things. Now there have been 2 chats, and *I* think we're making good progress.

Or he may just be confusing and pdocish and say (what do you think? and :-) etc) well, anyways...
