Actually, it would really suck if those of us who don't post once every sixty days were eliminated from the database. I've been around since the Yahoo days, but I often don't have a lot to say. I try to stay pretty on-topic when I do post, though, so hopefully it's quality, not quantity.

I travel a fair amount with work, so I may be home for a few months, then on the road for an extended period. It would be really obnoxious to have to re-register every so often.

When I get home from being on the road, I usually never get through everything I missed. Due to the Volume and the travel I miss some of what's going on here- so posting for me is often a question of doing a search to see if it was brought up by someone else in my absence.

I guess it's more a matter of the technical needs of the site- if we were rubbing up against limited resources or some other such criteria I'd understand.

But not posting often is no indicator of Tiki involvement. When I'm not slowly adding bit by bit to the Lounge of the Seven Pleasures, I'm often hooking up with other TCers. This last year we attended Mondo Tiki, The Hukilau, and Exotica plus varrious get togethers with folks and the ongoing MD/DC/(VA) crowd.

Just pointing out that 'lurkers' may be more Tiki than people are giving them credit for. And that there may be reasons behind the lurking or lack of postings that are inobvious. Assume nothing.
