S
up all. It's come to my attention recently that there are a lot of lurkers on this site. The lurker, or "one who lurks," is a commonly identified phenomenon of most public web sites. They are those that read, yet do not contribute. Almost parasitic in nature, they come for the visceral thrill of reading about other people's lives, but make no comments, and have no input of their own. These are the digital equivalents of me, at a party.
Given my own similar social nature, I'm not going to call these people out. Freedom of speech also means freedom FROM speech, in my book, so the silent masses have my blessing to stay that way -- Unless, of course, they're single females, in which case they are required to start contributing to the discussion. "Contribution" can take many forms, but generally I accept Visa, Mastercard, and/or scandalous photos. Barring these things, I suppose simply balancing out the generally male point of view expressed on the site is an acceptable form of involvement.
For those who already contribute, regardless of gender, there's a special place in my heart, right near my mitral valve prolapse, just for you.
Thank you,
-The management

Hi Andrew. Yes, I am one of those fellow lurkers. Each day I look forward to knowing a little bit more about your "life". Gives Corey and I something to talk about when we are bored. Of course, we are never bored though (hehehe).

wow, with only gentle prodding and/or threats I manage to flush out a few of "they that lurk". I should have put out a call for all the people who need a cat for an animal sacrifice ritual...

I know who one of the lurkers is - but she hasn't yet piped up. I won't mention any names, but she's responsible for the "Honk if you're H--ny" billboards in Peoria... heheh.

ok ok ok. I'll try to participate more. That is...if I can get Joey to quit banging on the keyboard as I try to type. This always leads to an ugly wrestling match with the usual scratching, pinching, biting, and screaming. Oh wait...we don't bite anymore.

Holy Sh!t - It worked. Got a bunch of comments, I wonder if that sort of plea would work on my site - nah - nobody reads it... :-)

Like to add your disturbed two cents?
Fancy comments are frowned upon - your WWW links will work though.
