>>as far as I know... there are ppl on Compuserve whom I've never seen post anywhere.

That is a bit of an understatement, don't you think? Since you are not entirely in the loop, let me run a few names by you:

Tamar Granor
Ted Roche
Tom Piper
Steve Sawyer

I could go on.

These folks post quite a bit and provide a lot of value to the community.

Just wanted to make the clarification.
