I take it by their continued silence the lurkers would rather remain
lurkers.  A few people who responded when this first started identified
themselves as lurkers.  Perhaps someday someone can explain to me the
advantages of lurking on a list like this, I just don't get it.  Do they
read and formulate opinions and hold conversations with themselves?  Are
they just looking for some quick entertainment or tid bots of useful data?
 What is it with lurkers? Why does it happen? Someone with some brains stop
me from ranting by providing a reasonable, plausible, rational, logical
explanation of the existence of lurkers ARRRG!

Whewww, coffee sure is strong today. On to real business.

 I can understand a few not wanting their ages to be known, but can we at
least get peoples real names and e-mail addresses?   Would like to get ages
also as we can run some numbers, high, low average age of BOC and HW folks.
 Also note it was explained a few times but the Primary band field should
represent HW or BOC.  Neither has to be your favorite band just want to know
which side of the directory drew you to the list.  Still converting this
thing to a database so sorts can be done.  Some people answered both or none
at all thus I took the liberty of placing people in one category or the
other, the only exception being Al (unless you do have a preference big guy,
don't want to assume).  Feel free to correct the entry if I'm mistaken.
  C'mon folks don't be shy, I promise you won't get any junk mail from me.
 BTW where is Tox lately?  And who the hell is Steve Swann (just kidding).

AB

The condensed format if any of the night creatures would now like to be
counted.

Name: (Real one please)
Handle: (Not a real requirement, but if you prefer to sign posts under an
alias)
Age: (Don't be shy, we range from 16 to forty something around here.)
E-Mail address - (This information can be very useful to us all)
Primary Band - (HW/BOC your are not held accountable for your choice, just
trying to maintain some data on the relative size of both groups.  Please no
more Zepplins, Sabbaths or Menudo's.)

One last thing can someone tell me what my e-mail address is I don't have
the technical abilities to make my system do it and I thinks it has changed
again.  Thanks.
