Nothing is worse than seeing people view a thread, but add nothing. Nothing, I say. Nothing but lurking nobodies. Just lurking around like lurk masters. You know, masters of the lurk. They are the type of people you snifle you in real life. A snifle is when you make eye contact with strangers an extra second too long, almost like the eye contact means something, and then they look away, and you never no what you both were looking at. You ever get snifled, you lurkers out there.
Respond to this, even if its to say the story is to long for you to read something so lengthy.
Lurkers? What if I have nothing to say or add or what if what I was going to say has already been said or what if the only thing I want to say is not a nice thing so I walk away. This accounts for alot of lurkers. Others are possibly not confident enough or interested enough.
Realize that; If someone notices you or notices what you say, you have already made an impact on that person. A response is not needed many times. The purpose of contact, any contact is connection impact. So you have successfully done that. We have a form of connection impact everyday with anyone we see or that sees us. If the person needs or desires more info they will continue the connection.
Data input and output. What is their direction? Are they going to need your input will their input help you? Do they want to help you. Do they have the time? So many things Kevconman influence people. Be patient with your fellow man, we are trying to struggle through the dark muck of life just like you.
Geez Kris! All of that for one pitiful little lurk? Some of us may not have the time or the inclination. Some folks are keyboard-tied. Sometimes I’d rather not have a response to the gibberish I write.
Lurkers are the reason that your post gets read. If you do not wish for readers (I’d like to use the term “Readers” instead) to view and value the information you post, use PM.
I will admit that I am guilty of lurking to a certain extent. I lurked here a lot before I started posting, and it’s because I didn’t think myself intelligent enough to bravely type a sentence without getting reprimanded by people like Bob. So I lurked and soaked up all the information regarding philoshophy and conversations that take place here as I could, to enable myself to understand more and therefore participate in conversation. Because of my lurking experience I was able to put a picture, or rather a personality, to the various posters on this website and it has become somewhat of a continuous storybook to me. I enjoy social conversation.
