Four hundred sixty-nine posts since September 2003. I only post when I’m absolutely sure I won’t say anything dumb. What counts as a “lurker”?

Aw, come on in. Join the rest of us who frolic in our stupidity with pride!
There are no dumb questions only…wait, yes there are dumb questions. Just don’t ask what rhymes with orange, or words that end with “gry” and you’ll be fine.
BTW…is it true that lurkers wear trench coats when reading SDMB?
You have me beat! Only 292 (I think this is 293) since November 2003! I like to post, but I don’t enjoy conflict.
I think those that don’t mind arguing extensively post a heck of a lot more. 
No.
What is this “lurking” of which you speak?
Assuming this isn’t a “whoosh”…lurking is only reading, and not posting, on these threads.
Well you started a thread… so no, you’re not a lurker.
(somebody had to say it)
On the flip side of the coin I wish I had some restraint in posting new threads from time to time… I’ve started some pretty damn pointless threads… even for MPSIMS.
I recognize your name – so, no.
I’ve found a metric which I think is a reliable indicator of lurkerhood. If you click on a user’s name and go into their profile you can see the number of posts per day. For you it’s .85, meaning that you post almost once a day. I wouldn’t call that lurker type behaviour.
Obviously this doesn’t take any trends into account so if you made all of your posts in the last few weeks then this metric is unreliable.
For what it’s worth, mine is .13. Can anybody beat that? Here’s your chance to come out of the shadows!
(retreats back into shadows)
Sorry snorlax: I’m on 0.06 posts per day. I just don’t have anything interesting to say. (resumes lurking)
I think I come a little closer to being a lurker than anyone else in this thread so far.
(0.04 posts per day)
And I thought I was a lurker.
Now I don’t feel so bad.
Hey, I think I’m in the running too. I love reading the board, but since I really enjoy GD and the Pit there’s no way I’m going to stick my toes in those waters.
Wow, constantpeace, 0.01!! Kudos! 
I’ve been lurking (without an account) for a couple of years. Beat that!
0.03–almost as bad as constant peace, especially since I visit 2-3 times a day.
If you’re a lurker, you’re not alone. In the first year and a half of my membership here, I made only two posts. Lately I’ve been rather active, but it took a while for me to venture out of my cave.
No, it’s just that some people feel the need to post any random thought that pops into their mind.
I mostly lurk as well.
P.S. Although I like the quick reply feature, I think post counts will now skyrocket because it is so darn easy now!
You talkin’ to me? You talking to ME?
