I actually do a lot more "lurking" than posting. I very rarely will even create a thread. I am now involved in the Horror Challenge, and have probably posted more since October 1 than I have in 12 months!

"Lurking on the Politics Board saves me a lot of time putting together my Naughty list, believe me. HOHOHO!"

I feel like I definitely go through moods where I wind up reading a lot of threads without participating...but most of the time, and right now, I feel like im commenting anytime something pops up and i have something to say, even if its just a throwaway comment.
It's also in the back of my head that this board needs activity to maintain its existence so...not that i feel obligated...but i think of that now and then and think, participating is important here. So even if I have only a mild interest in topics I often throw a thought or two at it.

This is the opportunity for lurkers to make their mark. When I first found the boards I didn't post. I just read different threads. I just wondered if there are lurkers here. I voted: I am here reading threads and responding to things that interest me. But I am glad you posted "Not that there is anything wrong with lurking" because the very word lurker sounds worse than it actually is. Lurking online is not the same as stalking irl.

I lurked for months on the original imdb before posting. Nothing wrong with lurking.

When I first discovered the old IMDb in 2005 I diid the ssme as you, enigma. I lurked for a couple of months while I got to know the posters. Then I slowly eased into regular posting. These days I'm lurking more because medical issues create difficulties and put me out of the mood for conversation. Hopefully that will change in time. Sulla! I've missed you! I was hoping your issues had improved, and as always, hope for the very best! I lurked for a while when I first came over here from the old board, like you. And I have lurked during times of high anxiety and stress, and just couldn't post for fear of saying something that was inappropriate. That has been happening a lot lately. I really should stay off the Politics board, just to keep what sanity I have left.
