If you can get the news in your email why lurk here - I'd be willing to bet that lurking is way off from before the "Alert" invention. | Yeah, I get tons of spam for TLAD. And I think you are right, there probably isn't as many lurkers. But lucky for us, most of the people who post here are regulars, no matter what news is in our email. Besides last month, our post numbers have been huge so I don't think google alerts have altered posting numbers in any negative way. I think the alerts have given us more to talk about and more news to post because I don't think we'd find everything we have without the alerts. Makes me wonder how much we missed before the alerts.
