good question

but one thing I know is that there can be no *exact* definition of gllug ;)

it could be defined accurately or precisely - but not both !

I do think the people who lurk are valuable becuase 
1) they are linux fans
2) 400 people have a much better chance of getting the answer than 20
3) well thats all I can think of but there must be more reasons 

I love the fact that gllug has no mandate/rules/clear purpose - and yet 
manages to combine advocacy/friendship/learning in equal measure.

I would be dissapointed if any one of these areas came to dominate the list

(But don't think that is likely anyway :)
