Long time lurker, first time poster.
I’ve just been waiting for the right time.
It’s so bright coming out of the shadows, where are my dark shades?
Mwahaha. I just registered here not too long after the AOL SDMB dissolved (as I used to post there) and just never got around to posting much until recently.

I’m a lurker and sometime poster - Everyone seems to know each other so sometimes feel intimidated to post. I have been welcomed to the board many times 'cause I don’t post much I guess - how 'bout other lurkers; how many times have you been welcomed to the board? Being welcomed seems strange to lurkers who have been around giggling, ohhing and ahhhing longer than you think.
I used to be a poster, now I’m pretty much just a lurker.
Not by choice, mind you. I don’t have a computer at home and our new policy at work (new being about six months ago) says that we can’t post to message boards or usenet groups. So I don’t get to post unless I happen to be somewhere else with access, like I am tonight.
But I still check out the boards just about every day while I’m eating my lunch in my office. Ain’t no policy about reading message boards on my lunch hour.
LOOOOONNNNG time lurker and “poster wanna-be” here. Hi, everyone! Although I’ve been lurking unregistered for years, I finally decided to join this merry bunch and start posting. Only the LOG-OUT gremlins got me every time I’ve tried to post! Grrrrrr!
Anybody got any anti-gremlin spray?

I guess I’m sort of a lurker still. Friends had been linking me to SDMB since possibly 2000, and finally I registered last October. Then I forgot about this board until a couple months ago and now I post maybe once or twice a day…
I have started to post a little lately, but I probably lurked on the board for a year before I even registered…
Now… if I could come up with somethig worthwhile to say…then I would be rockin’ along.
I have been lurking for years-- mainly with my hand on the mouse to close the window if I get caught at work. Not as easy when you are typing!!
I’ve been lurking around here since last summer, registered last fall and I post some, but I never really have much to say that’s not been said already.
Not to mention I’m just dang shy.
You can never know the true number of lurkers out there, because they don’t have to register to read, and by definition, won’t come forward to “say hi.”
