Hello,
Long-time lurker too. I've been visiting various sites since the days of Anthony Cotto's site waaaaaaaay back in 1995 (or was it 96?) but this is my first post here. This isn't anything to do with being shy. Rather, I rarely post since I don't feel I have particularly insightful or clever to say.
Also I'm probably one of the "unregistered" people that lurk around just to read the posts. I usually don't bother logging-in unless I want to post something.
Cheers,
DA
