Got a message today that not posting was reason to delete my account. I was most sorry to hear that. While I haven't posted here, I've been here a time or two (or more) as I followed links from the forum I moderate. Unfortunately, or not , I could not see that I could add anything to the topic/thread so I didn't. I don't talk/type to hear/read myself.
I understand about maintaining databases, saving storage space, etc. but deleting lurkers is counterproductive to forum health. I am atypical. Most members of any forum are lurkers. Lurking is the first step to posting and most posters lurked a bit, at least, before risking world-wide ridicule with a post.
Hobie is my name everywhere because it really is my nickname. I'd hate to have lost use of it here just because I haven't posted in 3 years.
Well, now I've posted. I hope you'll let me retain my registration. Thanks.
