[Air-l] Re: lurking

I've been following both this thread and the one re: newsgroup research with interest. In the process of analysing and writing up a two year part/obs study of a usenet group (100K posts) and an extensive survey, I've looked in detail at the lurker issue, and if anyone is interested, I can email a summary of the results so far.
