Heh. I'm right there with you (I have even gone so far as to check the
mailing list archives to see if my message did get sent to the list,
just in case). This used to bother me in RL, but I got over that when
I started getting rid of expectations. Now I just comment if I feel I
have something to add, and that's that :)

And I do like it if my comment stirs up a lively discussion. It's not
usually the ones that I expect that do so, though.

Greetings, and a Happy New Year to everybody:
