James, if you consider yourself a "member" of ASA (if there IS such a
thing) and .... you say you've been lurking for 10 years, could you
explain why?

Could it be because everyone here has always gotten along so well and
you didn't want to spoil things??
Could it be because you just didn't have anything relavent to say
because you knew everyone would agree with you?
Could it be because Mark posts such positive things about everyone
that you didn't want to be embarrassed by being complimented by him?
Could it be that you were so astounded by the scope of my vocabularian
excursions in the the netherlands that you just thought you couldn't
compete?
Could it be that you actually agreed with Paul?

or ...... or ..... let me see ...... for the life of me, I can't think
of any other person who has ever participated in this group or any
other events that have occured in ASA that may have made you remain
anonymous for 10 years. Hmmmmm Can't think of another thing.

Oppps ..... I can't really say you were anonymous though ...... can
I  ?
Since, while you were lurking ...... you were obviously lurking using
your real name ...... so that's not really technically "witholding"
your identity .... or ....or......is it?   Jeeeeeze ..... this is
really confusing .....

So ..... NOW...that all of the past events are not occuring here in
ASA now ..... nothing that would make one want to withold their
identity could ever happen AGAIN  ..... Is that it? ....

NOW ...You think everyone should expose who they really are but yet
you wait for 10 years, hiding in the bushes while the war rages
because ....... why ..... uhhhh    could we hear exactly why that was
and why you don't consider that as witholding personal information
about yourself and why you actully decided to do that?
