Full time lurkers usually do make up at least one third of a newsgroup's readers. Partial lurkers tend to make up another third.

How can they stand it, though? I could only stand 3 months of lurking on this newsgroup while trying to swear it off totally and after those 3 months I said, "To hell with it, I'm reposting no matter what!" I lurked over at the Lizard Lounge for an even smaller time period than that, 3 *weeks*.

Ah well, if someone over at the Lizard Lounge can spend from July 1997 to January 2000 lurking and then finally start posting, with all the crazy stuff we talk about over there, I'm sure people can lurk over here for about the same amount of time. Just...you know...participate every once in awhile...the more the merrier, all that.

Heh, I lurked here for about, oh, 2-3.... days... I think... ;-)

I guess I was on a bit of a vacation in January, but I was kinda busy then, and none of the topics seemed to stir my juices enough to want to summon the strength to type a response. :P Damn flu. I am SO getting a shot this Fall....

rich, who wonders how long everyone else lurked before their first post... Goat: Alex, my friend, don't you know that the key to happiness can be found in three simple words?

A day, I think. When I came here, I was a veteran of the Planet Daria message board wars, mostly as a sniper firing from deep cover. Actually, I tended to ignore the chaos and post responsibly, but it was just getting too annoying. For those who remember PD, I posted as "an old guy." Anyway, it was fairly easy to jump right in here.

First discovered the group end of April '99, first post in the first week of July, about 2 1/2 months, it was just my nature, I'm naturally a shy, quiet person in real life so it took me a bit to build up the nerve, but I did and have enjoyed it ever since.

That'll be me then...

I guess I joined sometime around Jan-Feb 1998. Tried to find my first post, but Deja wasn't having it...

I tend to be somewhat bolder over the 'net, especially if I'm not using me real name. But I don't say very much in real life as it is, so I don't post that often, and chat rooms are a complete waste of time so I don't bother.

I think I've posted more noise than signal, so it's just as well I don't post more often. (In two years of reading atd, I've posted 261 times... 262 with this one.)

[Thinking of noise] On an unrelated note, see that link under my .sig? That leads to a 'site for a small press comic I contribute to. I'm also the site's webmaster; at least, I'm the one who tinkers with it the most. There's a brief little bio about me, along with a wee picture, and one of my comic strips. Only a few copies left of issue #1.

The Guilt!!!! Fine, you know what? I lurked. I lurked for five hours! I couldn't hold back! AAAAHHHH!!!! I really just had to get into this cool group and my lurk period was weak. And I'm not sorry! I'd do it again if I had the chance!

Okay I'll calm down now...damn caffiene...

Once you start, you can't stop.

But before you start, it's fairly easy not to. Especially if you don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said.

Well, speaking for myself, I don't feel like I have much to say here, but I do like reading a lot of the posts. Usually I only read this ng when new eps are being shown, as it's interesting to read what other people think of them (sadly I don't know anyone in "real life" who likes to watch Daria).

For myself, it's because someone else has usually already posted saying the same thing I would have, except maybe putting it better. :-)

Anything I would have posted is therefore little more than a glorified "me-too".

Hi from a lurker.

I found the world of Daria on-line while recovering from major surgery several months ago. �'ve watched Daria off and on since it was first broadcast. I really got hooked last year. Blame it on moving to a much smaller community that had the worst winter in 27 years. Regardless, Daria is one of the best programs on TV. Most TV stinks.

I was surprised to see the amount of discussion on the message boards covering every aspect of the show. I find the thoughts and information presented intriging. As with everything, there are a wide range of opinions out there.

I'd better quit rambling on here. Maybe I'll post again sometime if I have anything to say.

Qagidax-from somewhere way out there

If this shows up more than one time, I'm sorry. I've never done this before.
