I lurked since FT STARTED before finally getting the nerve to post in 2001. I never felt I could offer much, but I learned a lot from the masters that started the boards ^.

Try it, once you get started, you'll like it.

I don't travel very much any longer. The bulk of my travel was BEFORE I started posting. I try to be as helpful as possible whenever I can.

SPAM got completely out of hand with the Ipod conga and there was even a pyramid scheme going. Unfortunately, kids started populating SPAM and bringing there own version of the net to FT, which is an outstandingly well behaved community. It was getting unruly.

So, while you may lurk daily (so did I), I'm sure you have accummulated enough knowledge and hints to post to travel related topics. Give it a try, you just may like it ^
