Somebody on a thread the other day said something 'akin' to :-

Perhaps its an attempt by Adept to sneak you out of your 'lurking places' !!?

I lurk unless its something I know the answer to :-) or I need help in finding a answer.

Been around a couple of years, but my post count doesn't reflect it. So I do a bit of lurking.

I guess I'd count as a lurker. My post count is below 500 and I've been registered here almost three years. I used to post a lot when I was at my previous job, but since I've switched jobs about 1 1/2 years ago, I slowed down my posting activity. I still come to the site at least once every day and read what other people post...

I was hanging around even before I actually joined up. I can't even remember what topic I decided was important enough for me to sign up and post in. I try to stay out of the bickering, although I always have an opinion.

Just like surfing the forums

Hi My names Philski and ...I'm a lurker...I mean alcholic.....I mean lurker...

I am Proud to say that I am a huge fan of the Chat and spend every day in there. I am a regular and have learnt heaps thanks to those helpful guys and gals who offer their time there.

I don't post in the forums too much for a couple of reasons

1. I usually say/ask really stupid stuff (see above)

2. Most of the questions I would ask are noob sorts of questions, so I just google for the answer instead, or ask in chat.

I do post a lot in Mayets brilliant BackChat forum

BACKCHAT

come one come all!!

I am a half lurker.

**Lowland** · January 9th, 2004, 10:39 AM

lurk before you leap

**AngryTech** · January 9th, 2004, 11:08 AM

Guilty as charged. I'm a lurker.

**gpint** · January 9th, 2004, 11:24 AM

I visit the forums at least once a week since 2000. I never really post much, but have learned alot. I have asked a few questions, and have always gotten answers. I usally search the forums for a similar question before I post, and usally find that it has already been asked and answered. This site has been a great help at work, its like having a co-worker that knows everything.

**Spaceman Spiff** · January 9th, 2004, 11:31 AM

I pop in once in a blue moon, but usually don't post anything. The last time I posted was like throwing rocks at a hornet's nest...

**Damned Angel** · January 9th, 2004, 11:35 AM

Heck I guess I could also be considered a lurker. I don't post much anymore, but visit several times a day to see what's going on. Heck, I've been a member since 99 and still don't have over 2000 posts
