Do People Get Off?

Lurkers come back for the content.

Lurkers come back for the drama.
or
Lurkers come back because their jobs a mind-numbingly boring.
or
Lurkers come back to make LJ & Brianna nuts.

I admit I sometimes wonder why lurkers just lurk, no resentment, just curiosity.

Maybe they lurk for they same reason fish owners don't jump in the aquarium. They feel they don't belong, or they're above such antics or fear of being rejected after reading the theatrical wailing and farewell of the MsSparkie types.

Speaking of which(whom?), when she first arrived she sent me a PM asking how to post a picture. I responded with a detailed, step-by-step, instruction....no problem. I have trouble following some of the descriptions in computer stuff myself. But when she responded with "I hate reading instruction manuals and love to go by trial and error...LOL", I suspected she was one of those selfish people that don't care how difficult she makes it for the people trying to follow threads or check what's new. I was right.
Accusing people of not having a sense of humor, when her sense of humor is always at someone else's expense.
Hopefully, that kind of bullshit won't put people off.

I'm sure that every one of the lurkers has something to contribute.... wisdom, in general or on a particular topic.... experience, even if it's an example of what not to do.......opinion, now everybody has those, everybody...just because someone else has said what you think, doesn't mean you shouldn't add your 2 cents.

I'm sure there can't be anybody left in the world I haven't pissed off at least once, so come on in and tell me so. If you wait till I piss you off and then you have to register before you rant, you'll lose some momentum. Register now, then you can wait, like a Bobcat perched on a rock, and you won't lose any momentum.

Don't let any of this, lay a guilt trip on you for not contributing. Lurking is an honorable pastime and just as important as we loudmouths....honest.
