It seems like there are more members like you than I thought. I know in
the past when I didn't want to follow a group at the moment but hoped
to in the future (or didn't want to cut all emotional ties) I set
myself to no-mail. And I just assumed there were others like me. There
may be, but there are at least two people who are on no mail and read
at the group - and I'd wager more than that.

I still think there are lots of people who are members but don't follow
along. It's the nature of requiring membership to join the website. But
I was wrong to assume that everyone on no-mail didn't follow the group.

Thanks,
Marta
