I have a big mouth, and that has transferred to the fingers, so I cannot lurk, it is just not my style. In real life, however, I usually do not join in other peolpe’s conversations, but just listen.

Strange thing. I was so unsuccessful so long with scanning, cropping and enabeling that photo, I got a Carolina Block C with Gamecock (The one you see on helments) and thought I sent it. But I sent my image about the same time, and I guess it overode the Block C. When I got the statement “Gravatar complete”, I stopped about five days and it suddenly showed up. I’m still not sure what I did.

Since Chas now has his avatar under control (I was hoping for the Gamecock logo, though!), he can’t be a lurker anymore.

Lurker here. As in real life, I’m just too timid to join in until I get to know ya . . . [slinks back into the corner].

Congratulations Harrison!
You got several lurkers to post. It’ll be easier for them next time.
Now, get them to submit a bio.
(And an avitar, if they can figure it out.)

I’m a lurker in other places as well, listening in on several conversations at a party, for instance.

I used to post a bit, but now I seem to have become a lurker, here and at my other favorite sites. It seems that, whenever I start to post, I notice that I’m beginning to say something negative and stop myself with thoughts of ‘it’s not worth getting into an argument’ about whatever it is. I’m one of those people that struggles with holiday depression, so maybe I’ll be back to normal [whatever that means] in January.

Thanks for all of the attention. I can’t handle it as I’m a really shy guy. I think I’ll slink back to lurking. It feels weird to be addressed by a bunch of strangers.

OK, I’ll stop kidding. You’ve awakened in me more of a desire to comment. I’ll try to make sure I have something substantive to say.

Well I’m sorry for ignoring you. Let me go on record as saying I’m generally impressed by the reasonableness of your posts. At least that’s my memory of them (which can always be suspect).

As for saying unreasonable things… I’ve been known to pop off now and again, and say inadvisable things. I’d probably be somewhere in between the ribeye and the 280 pounds. (I’m 6′2″ and over 200). Right about now Night Train would have popped me in the eye….

I’ve posted a few times in the past, but I usually just read what others have to say.
