Good points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t comment to blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault in the least , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy just reading the content .

Hello, I found your blog in the new directory of blogs. I don’t know how your site came up, should have been a typo. Your website looks good, use a nice day.
