I accept the fact that I am powerless over lurking and my life has become unmanageable. ---

I’m a lurker. There are many times when I want to reply to something, but ya know, I don’t feel like I have a good enough response. ☹ ---

I thought I was lurking, then I checked my post count. I think I stopped lurking so much when we had to pay. ---

Hi, I am lurker too. I, like a previous poster said, think most of my replies aren’t good enough. If I feel I can help, I will. It’s just that most of my opinions are overlooked anyways. (Not in the " I feel sorry for myself" tone in anyway) ---

Yep. Everyone else pretty much covers what I want to say. ---

Oops. I guess I should look at my post count more often. I thought it was a lot less than that. I think I’ll go lurk somewhere else for a while. ---

I lurk as well. I get much more out of this board than I could ever add. Sometimes I post if it’s mudane and pointless enough, but other than that, I just cruise around and read what everyone else has to say. ---

Pretty much a lurker too. I go through spurts of posting - maybe 5 in 2 days, and then nothing for a month. _laughs_ ---

I’ve been lurking for a few years never having something to say that hasn’t already been said much better. I never subscribed when subscription time came around figuring I never posted anyhow and can still lurk. I just decided it’s about time I subscribed and post a little more often so I just subscribed 2 minutes ago but will likely remain more or less a lurker. ---

Interesting, it looks like the join date is when I first registered to make my first post even though I just subscribed. I never even realized I had posted 10 times already. ---

Yeah, I’m a lurker - without a doubt. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lurkers-anonymous-roll-call/315368.md?page=2)
