One or two may be lost, but are they benefitting anyway?
I've heard, although admittedly from a local-boy-turned-famousish-internet-troll that a ten to one poster to lurker ratio is about average. Assuming thats about right then being able to meet 30ish in the flesh isn't so bad is it?
As to your question...let people who want to lurk, lurk. They aren't hurting anyone ;)
*waves at the lurkers but in a 'please don't feel it necessary to wave back manner'*
What I meant was more in the line of 'are they reading the list anyway?'
