Yes - I'm afraid that the saga continues. I'll give you a full explanation
some time - you deserve it after all your hard work. Not that from my point
of view it was a waste of time - I learnt an awful lot - but I can't and
don't expect you to feel like that.

I can't do it invisibly. I was able to do it invisibly initially on the
mailing list. To me invisibility is part of lurking. To be able to only be
visible after delurking. I could, of course, lurk under a pseudonym, but I
find thinking of a pseudonym for myself impossible. When a friend included
me in a book she was writing she asked me to give myself a pseudonym, and
after several days of agonising I told her just to use my name.
Anyway, I thought that not saying hello counted as bad etiquette? :-(
