I've become a lurker, too, though not for the same reasons. I don't have a
need to know about most of the topics discussed, so I can't offer any
meaningful contribution. I have neither knowledge of, nor access to, most
of the tools mentioned; I'm strictly freelance, experienced only in writing
information security newsletters. I am only vaguely familiar with MS Word,
so I read almost everything that is posted about Word. I really appreciate
the willingness of more experienced users to post tips and tricks for Word
users.
Since Andrew left, I have no one to argue with...*sigh!*
