I suggest that you step back a bit and consider another viewpoint.
If no one discussed the similarities and/or the differences, what would there be to discuss?
After all, this is a discussion list.
You may consider my question above as rhetorical, since you have already answered it.
Here is how I see that you have already answered that question:
Having dismissed any participation in discussing similarities and/or differences, you find your role to primarily be a 'lurker'.
Which is a direct result of your choice to dismiss discussions on topics that are of little interest to yourself.
Without discussion subjects, a discussion list is a bit dry.
