I never really thought about things from a "lurker's" perspective before. I don't consider myself a lurker [eventhough I don't frequent the site or comment nearly as much as I used to], most people here know me and have seen my work. I don't think 'lurker' is a fair assessment of people who visit but don't post. I would rather think of them as 'fans' or 'admirers'. That's exactly what I was when I first joined years ago. Seeing posts by Jr., Android, Optical and Bio brought me back day after day.,,eventhough it would be months before I posted anything or even said one word. Perhaps these so called lurkers are in awe and struck speechless or maybe they just fear ridicule. It don't matter in the long run cuz all artists are a little introverted and keep to themselves at times..so that would make us all lurkers to a certain extent.
