Whoops, I'll stop removing the extra name occasionally. I didn't know anyone
didn't like the "background noise" as Danny puts it ;-)

Yup, I agree with this. It helped me no end: I lurked a lot for about half a
year to a year, and used to ask the odd question (sometimes they were pretty
odd ;-)). Now I answer  a whole lot more questions than I ask (albeit
sometimes badly).
