Ross,

Temper temper. Not everyone on this list has the time to weigh in on every
topic and many people are just uncomfortable "going public" so to speak. How
do I get such great insight you ask? Well, I ask them and they tell me. Don't
need you putting them on a guilt trip, we'll never get them to find the time
or overcome their shyness.

Now you and I have the time, but many of these folks, especially the ladies
are trying to find time to raise a family, keep a house, go off to work, do
volunteer work, and keep up with a hobby (which was going to be a form of
relaxation). They tell me they barely get time to scan the messages and try
to keep up with what is going on. Now you're upset because they don't find
the time to make the commitment that you think is appropriate. Who appointed
you score keeper? Ease off and don't scare people that way. Not everyone know
your a cuddly teddy bear, like I do. Those that have the time will, and those
that don't, wish, I'm sure that they did have the time, to follow up on these
types of issues.

Watch out for cabin fever. This is a bit early to start showing signs.
