Hi, occasional poster, constant lurker.
This board has an unusually high number of lurkers (yes, I can tell) - so I thought this would be a good time to invite them to come out of hiding (if they want) - we love you anyway, but would be happy to get to meet you

Hi...I'm Kevin and I'm a lurker too.
Ok....that's not true. I post way too often.
I just wanted to say hello to all of the folks who have been reading, but not posting.
I'm not sure I care for the title "lurker". It sounds like you've been caught doing something bad.
I'm glad you all decided to post and say hello.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.
Kevin

Alas, it is a term ingrained the Internet culture, dating back to at least the late 80s and through the 90s in the heyday of UseNet (a.k.a. newsgroups) and other BBS systems. Although even then it often had a negative connotation, as a person would "de-lurk" usually to incite a flame war or something, which never, ever happens here. Sorta. Kinda.
I could use a trip to DLP? Can you help (I mean pay for it)?
There are a lot of words we used to use but dont anymore.
I think lurker needs to be updated and given a makeover.
Well, we certainly can make up our own term.
"Backstage" seems appropriate...
