I am a lurker by most standards. I am new to this site and it will take me another month or two to get to know the site. In the mean time I just like to "eavesdrop" on conversations and threads to see what interests people on this site. I am also blown away by some of the art stuff and find it very enjoyable to examine the maps in detail . As a newby in cartography, I feel inadequate to offer opinions or suggestions. I think that there will be many others who will feel the same way as I do. I am a member of other forums including most Gimp forums and I am a moderator on a completely different forum. Most "lurkers" are people who are interested and admire your work , consider it a form of flattery!
Cheers
