  Some people like to read discussions but don't like to post their own thoughts. I have seen this on other discussion boards as well. "Lurkers" are seen as offensive by some, but I don't see the harm.

  I read the discussions and post occasionally, but not often. I'm entertained by what goes on here, but want to avoid flame wars as many members are very opinionated.

  I'm with Boogie. I hardly ever post, mostly 'cause I don't have anything unique to bring to the whole group that wouldn't be handled easier with a PM. I do find the "my opinion is better than your opinion" stuff very amusing though.

  Vm pours a few shots of whiskey for Clubber and invites him to stick around. The show is just beginning !!

  @Titangs I loved the way you put that about the opinionated posters. But I probably wouldn't answer a PM from someone I don't know via a name on this board. Curious - do you responses?

  I consider lurkers as parasites. They feed info off of the site, and offer nothing in return.

  IMO contributing to the reviews is more important than helping fill the discussion boards.. so as long as a user is providing accurate reviews then to each their own

  Im with mjx01 with his statement. I really don't care about lurkers on this forum compare to the other forums I go to but my guess would probably be around 500 members are lurking but who knows. Would admin have a figure on how many active members there are and non active members as well.

  most of the time, by the time I read a thread, someone else has already stated the same opinion I have so instead of clogging the board with a bunch of 'yeah, I agree' or 'what he/she/they said' I just read & follow the thread. when I have replied here, I hope it is seen as a differing point of view and taken as such. other than that, sometimes I feel like I 'lurk' here because I don't contribute to most of the threads.

  For a lurker, Clubber drank that whiskey pretty fast. :)

  @ boogieknight369. I wouldn't say that's entirely true. Most of us here are tolerant of each others opinion. Some may disagree with a point made and say why but there's not as much malice as you think. It's true that there are a minority that aren't so understanding but that's human nature I guess. The best way to deal with being flamed is a short rebuttal or totally ignore them. @ clubber. Nice to see you are back.

  I check out most of the threads but most of them aren't very interesting and the ones that are usually already have comments that reflect what I would say.

  "I have never seen any opinionated posters here yet" Me neither. It's one happy family. It's almost like we're of one mind on everything.
