Curt,
Yeah, I've been mostly a lurker here. I imagine there are a bunch of DC people like me: active and interested computer user both at home and at work, but not a coder, not a serious computer hobbyist, not too much interested in mucking about with hardware or modifying software or the like.
But I follow DC enthusiastically, and it's given me FARR and Screenshot Captor (which I use and talk up regularly) and a bunch of other interesting things.
Mouser is a god.
So I've held back not through reticence, but because most active posters have levels of knowledge and skill well above mine. When I feel I have something useful to add, I will.
(and now two posts in one day. It's a Trend!)
