But it would also be nice to know a little about you. Doesn't have to be much, but knowing your a Middle-aged Great-Great Grandfather from Nunavut who likes collecting peas will help me (or any other LPer) get to know you. It's nice to at least know you may know what In and Out burgers is, or that when I call you he, that you really are a he.

Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo I probably read more than post now as Mikey always wants to helpme type (I can not blame him for allmy typos though) If Avromark brings at least 1 lurker out in to the community and they enjoy themselves then a good deed has been done.

Originally Posted By LVCajun I guess I'd consider myself a part-time lurker too. I jump in when I think I have something relevant to say, but I read almost every post. I tend to stay out of WE. Most of those arguments don't seem to change anybodies mind. I have definite opinions but somebody who writes more eloquently always say what I wanted to...so I let them.
Originally Posted By RAM1984 ........only in WE. It scares me. (Oh, just had a shiver!) I lurked in WE once and got out fast. Still makes me shiver. I agree LVCajun. Not only do minds not change but from the little I read; they just keep saying the same things.
Originally Posted By Kira I think I'm more of a lurker then a poster.

It sure feels like I've posted more then 411 messages lol. I come here on a daily basis to catch up on all the new news and happenings but most days I don't post anything at all. I do love reading everyones comments and suggestions though! This place has to be the most friendly (most of the time lol!) helpful discussion board I've ever been a part of. It would be kind of meet to see a bunch of new names around here though, lurkers come forth!=)
