Craig,

</div>
<div>While I may agree with your comments about tone and decorum, the term \u201clurker\u201d is common internet slang for people who read but do not post. I do not think it was intended to be cute or that anything derogatory was meant by it. We all know they are prohibited
from posting. It\u2019s just what they are called. </div>

<div dir="ltr">
<div>Carl, if I may make a suggestion: having spent 40 years of my career at the USPTO until my retirement a few years ago, I know that there has to be a more fitting reference to those attempting to keep up with, even if informally, your group's postings as
"lurkers." I'm sure that its use when first started seemed somehow "cute"---but my reaction each time I see this is that it simply isn't.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know the long history of the relationship between your ListServe and the USPTO and the USPTO's position that the ListServe should not be viewed as any sort of formal mechanism to provide feedback to the USPTO (and hence, yes, the "behind-the-scenes"
only standpoint that helped with the apparent derivation of the "lurkers." terminology).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do recognize now that I am routinely on your ListServe (I never was while at the USPTO) that it is, indeed, an excellent source of information. In fact, I have reached out to one of my closest former USPTO colleagues and made a direct suggestion that,
gee.someone really should be monitoring this ListServe on a routine basis because many of the posts are very useful. And, in fact, yes, some folks apparently are even though not permitted to then reply to any posts directly through the ListServe channel.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With that said, since you all know USPTO are reading these posts, I will take this even one step further than just use of the term "lurkers." Without question, I understand that many USPTO actions (or lack thereof) are sources of tremendous frustration
for the private bar. I get that---and it is not as if now that I am outside of the USPTO that this is some sort of "awakening." But Carl, the tone of so many of the ListServe group posts is basically that the USPTO staff are idiots. Yes, I am making a generalization,
but having now been reading the posts on a daily basis I know how often that is the case. Again, I understand that frustration---and the email mechanism in and of itself---makes it so convenient to "trash talk." But a reminder that the purpose of many of the
emails is to ask/hope that the USPTO will do something, As such, setting the groundwork through a tone that is, in my opinion, often demeaning just isn't the best way to do so.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I say "in my opinion," Carl, because that is all this rambling is---my opinion only and NOT being written at the "request" of any current USPTO employees. But these are PEOPLE reading these emails. Having dedicated 40 years to the service of the USPTO,
my allegiance will always be with my former colleagues---and many of them personal friends---who continue to carry on some of my work. Do I now always agree with a certain direction being taken? No, I don't. But what I do agree on, and always will, is that
everyone deserves to be treated with respect.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For your consideration.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div><br>
