why do we need a new name for anyone? We are all just "netters", whether we
contribute to a post or just quietly listen. We are all members of a very
exclusive club and thats all that matters. I can see using the term
wannabees for those that dont have a GMC yet, but to me that is sure not a
negative term by a long shot. A persons worth to any club is not predicated
on how much he/she talks, but on the fact that they just care enough to be
here. I have belonged to a lot of clubs and in everyone of them just a few
did the majority of talking, became officers and ran the meetings. At the
crucial time, the quiet ones always spoke up and said their piece. Everyone
was happy just to be together. Lets do the same thing here and just drop
the word lurker all together. If a person wants to post he will, if he
wants to listen let them do that to.
