I have been reading the posts from these message boards for several years. I have never posted because I enjoy reading everyone else’s posts (voyeuristic perhaps) and I have just recently posted to topics “here and there”. These message boards are great and I enjoy the way that I don’t feel like I am the only one that thinks about the same things that (most) of the poster’s thinks about!! Thanks. ---

Hello **mkmiller**. Glad you like the boards and I hope I’m not one of the people you curse at the screen at for being such an asshole. ---

I lurked for a long time myself… basicly from the time it came out of AOL and into the real internet untill my first post (probably about 5 months). Come join the fun! I still lurk for a long time every day but probably only average a post or two a day now. 🙂 ---
