Anubody with less than 100 posts? (We can open it up a bit since some have more than the 50 I arbitrarily mentioned to start with.) I figure less than two posts a month since you “joined” is basically lurking, don’t you? ---

We need some sort of secret code so that when we post to other threads, we can easily identify each other as fellow lurkers. maybe we can sign each thread after we post \*\* HFL\*\* (hey fellow lurkers) or something like that\*. HFL \*lame idea, I know, now you see why I don’t post a whole lot ---

I lurk! As it was stated by some others I sometimes run across a post I have some knowledge about but don’t feel I have a good enough repsonse. I have posted a couple times to threads and regretted it later, because of the response to my reply… I would rather just read what others post thank you very much! ---

Also a lurker. And I lurked for about 6 months before registering too. And I only registered to use the search function. ---

I’ve been lurking here for a while. My post count has gone up a good bit since I had to start paying for it. If I keep on like this I’ll have a triple digit post count within a year or so. -Belz ---

The amount of self control many of you have displayed is awe-inspiring. There are 7 people here with post counts in single digits. There is one Doper whose first post ever was made here, and a couple more whose second & third posts were here. Let it never be said that any of you talk too much.
