Interesting...

I wonder how many people read these groups but don't participate.

I suspect a lot of people lurk. I am usually too busy and skim all the
various groups I'm subscribed to. Posting takes much longer and may
mean I miss out on reading something interesting.

Lurking is a more or less negative description of reading or looking at
postings in newsroups like this one.
I believe there is no obligation for participating in a newsgroup only
because you read the postings. You know that your posting is public all over
the world, so don't insinuate that it private to the active 'members' of
the newsgroup.
With all regards, Gijs
