I still consider myself a lurker.
I think I’ll have chicken for dinner tomorrow night. Or maybe pot roast.
I’m at 0.17 right now, a little over one post every six days. I consider myself a lurker.
Yep, and sometimes they open their coats to reveal their privates.
Hell, I used to be a lurker, so I should know.
**Quixotic ** was pointing out that he was far more a lurker than the OP. (No need to thank me, Q; don’t mess up your low post count.
I note that generica is a paid-up member with 22 posts in five years.
But let me share the legend of Steve Schonwald
He joined in April of 1999.
He posted once, two years later.
They say that on a cool night when the wind is still … well, I’m an old man. You don’t want to hear my crazy stories.
You guys are such asshats.
Huh, a post party for lurkers. I guess I’ll play…but only once…
Despite the low post percentage (.015), I read these damn things daily.
[sub]I’m watching you…[/sub]
Okay, so that’s why I don’t post often. Not only did I preview and still get the percentage wrong (0.15), but that just looks creepy…er, don’t mind me…
Coincidentally enough, my brother-in-law called me the next day and invited the wife and me over for dinner. He made pot roast. Spooky.
I’m such a lurker that I almost didn’t post because constantpeace has posted less than I have.
Jeez.
What a bunch of chatterboxes in here!
SOME of us are seriously trying to obfusticate ourselves around here.
Hmph.
I joined on 9.22.02, and my ppd is 0.13. In my defense, I have a job where I actually have to…you know…work. So, I occaisonally have the time, inclination, and interest to post, but mostly I just log on, look for something to make me laugh–and that has never failed yet–and then head back to work. I have to admit wondering how some of my fellow dopers find time to make a living…
I started lurking back in '99. I joined up on the day that the great WallyM7 passed away. I’m another one that reads almost every day but posts very rarely.

Bah - humbug (to most of you anyhow) - I am coasting at 251 posts after 4 years of membership, albeit I did lurk for another year or so before posting.

Well, I lurked for a year and a half before signing up, and now that I have, I really haven’t posted all that much in the last few years. My posying habits usually consist of about 15-20 posts on a day of binge drinking and the occasional epiphany that I find witty and hilarious, but nobody else does. I used to get recognized all the time for my user name, but then I changed it…ummmmm…where the hell was I going with this? Oh, yeah…I needed another beer.

Pfff, I would post on this thread, but I’m too busy lurking.
L@@K!!! Ninjas!!!
[poof!]
[whooshing sound]
I’m sitting at .041 or so.
I thought that I mostly lurked, but I like to see that others are less posty than I. I joined 08/21/05 and only have 123 (0.13).
I mostly read and enjoy what others have to say and do not feel like putting in my own imput.
I’m don’t consider myself a lurker, even though I only have a .25 ppd count. I joined back in the day in 2001 and never really did much with it. I posted in a GD thread about child abuse when I signed up and then really nothing for a long time. Then I read that it was going to become a paid thing and I sat there thinking about it for a long time. Then, at the 11th hour, or so, on the last day you could sign up at the discounted rates, I signed up. Then I figured that since I pay, I might as well enjoy it. So I never really was a lurker, just I wandered off and have only in the past year come back.
I’m at .04 and that doesn’t take into account 2-3 years of lurking before registering (I wanted to do a search!). I’m trying to be more active but I find usually someone will say what I wanted to say before I get there (and almost always says it better anyway).
Of course the true lurkers would never respond to this thread…
