The former lurker known as jitBob.

While I don't personally encourage this kind of behaviour *cough*, the answer is yes.

Since the subject is lurking, what are the advantages of lurking? Strickly annonymity, or just picking up new topics for the office water cooler?

Even he who remains silent appears wise.

...or something like that.

This is my 10th post and I have been here since April 2001.

So in the past 2 years 8 months I have posted.

Calculate 1005 day's since joining and only 10 posts.

So thats around 1 post every 100.5 day's.

YAY

I'm A+ certified because I hang out here reading the posts.
Since this is a public forum and anything but tech is discussed. What do people think of GWB and the direction of the US of A.

So don't lurk - post a thread...

We try & answer tech questions & if anybody thinks of anything to discuss I'm sure you can count on some opinions

"scoptophobia" !?!?! ... this wants to be on that made up words thread !

Lalophobia/ Laliophobia is 'the fear of speaking'

'Fes up the only reason this is a sticky is 'cos you kissed arse !

& I ain't here to advise 'no lurkers' ... for Christs sakes what do I know about being quiet !?!

Just thought I'd get in on some of Adepts cheap post padding antics !

Now the definition of lurker is,"Someone waiting in concealment"
or lurk,"Lie in wait, lie in ambush"

synonym " bushwack"

I say we got a lot of deperado's out there.

1. Only NooNoo knows for sure.

2. This thread's original intent was not to attract followers of the Way of the Post Pad(tm). It's motive was bereft of any inclination to attract posts devoid of content or use. Rather, it aimed at providing a platform for those who either don't get the chance to voice their opinions on everything that happens here or who choose not to do so.

So there.

I'm surprised at the results, to be honest.

I mean, we know there's more to the forums than the "regs", but the sheer number of those who chose to let their presence be know is a surprise.
