Hello lurkers.  I know you’re out there, refreshing the page, waiting to see if I dig up any more Clarion gossip or whatever you’re looking for.  I know you’re out there because, for the third day in a row, I have a record number of hits, so many that it makes my normal days’ hits seem obsolete.

It’s okay, this is a lurker-safe zone.  (Or is it a lurker safe-zone?)  I just wanted to make you feel welcome and offer you a venue to chatter.  Or not, lurking works, too.  But it’s so much more fun to hear what’s on your minds.  How are you dealing with the wait?  How many times have you tried Clarion?  Or if that’s not it, what brings you here?  What should I talk about to keep you coming back?  Anything to help us keep our minds off the waiting.
