Whoop! After registering in October of 1999, I have finally posted 100 times. I have posted approximately .07 posts per day. Yes, I am a lurker. Yes, I have been reading here for pretty much all that time. Just don’t have a lot to say, or else someone else beats me to the punch. A few thread killers along the way, a few threads that didn’t really get off the ground…and I’ve stuck to the Dope. Love it here. Better than any soap opera on TV. 😃 ---

Hey, congratulations, **leafrog** , you’ve finally reached 100 posts. I think you need to stop lurking and start posting. 🙂 ---

Wow, such restraint of tongue and fingers! I’ve only been here a few months and I’ve got you beat by hundreds. I admire your ability to not say anything unless it’s worth saying – I’ve never had that problem! ---

**Mama Tiger** , you’re assuming that what I have posted in those first 100 was actually worth saying! 😃 I think my first ever post was about baseball, and I think it was the most informed and useful post I’ve ever made. And it was a thread killer. ☹ **Mercury** , there are many lurkers out there who have us beat…just check out most any of the “Hey, lurkers, check in here” threads that pop up every so often. **eunoia** , well, I don’t think it will take me that long, A majority of my posts have been in the past year or so. **Necromancer** , thanks. 🙂 Frogs don’t live in shells, though. I’m currently living under a rock by a babbling brook. Sounds just like a train track.
