It's not lurkers, as we all lurk in threads that we're not writing to,
but those that post and request only email responses and never
respond questions about their question.  After a while you decide that
this person isn't really interested in participating at all, but just
wants his or her question answered regardless of how poorly formed it
is.  It's those people to whom folks on this forum are objecting.

But you don't need to be actively working in metal to be able to help
in this group - I've participated in threads where my other experience
(radio control models. particularly helicopters) comes in handy.  If
something pops up that you know something about, or even where to find
out, then hop right in and say so.  That's what these groups are all
about.
