For me involvement of any kind is better than apathy.

We're debating semantics. You say join and be a lame duck, I say join and participate, you say you joined as lame duck and ended up participating, I'd say join and participate. We both basically saying the same thing, but just differently. Participation is the important thing to take out of it. I've seen lame ducks that remain lame ducks. I'd prefer an empty seat as I don't have people saying they'll do work and then not and me chasing them. Or waiting for someone to vote and having to harass them to get a vote so we can move on with decisions. In the case of an empty seat I'll just do it from the get go.
