Definitely not the latter!

I've lurked on both the use and dev lists for years - I read and have 
read the majority of all the posts (admittedly skimming some threads 
when they spiral off the point - but I suspect we all do that) and 
information gained does get filtered in to what we are doing even if it 
isn't apparent at times.

This is just an extension of my involvement in Bugzilla and specific 
forums. I must confess I find the forums, as a whole, more difficult to 
get involved in as the volume is a great deal higher and less focused. 
Personally, I find it is more difficult to mentally manage the 
involvement there, whereas the mailing lists more easily slot in to 
moments here and there.

Well, I'm glad it is of help. I find it quite cathartic to be honest! 
Generally I've found that helping others with specific issues I can 
easily comment on (due to knowledge that I already hold) in between 
working on more difficult problems (from my perspective at least - 
things are only difficult until you understand the problem) helps to 
unstick the mind.
