Lurker Update

Oct 10, 2006 9 Replies

Well, it looks like we have a dozen or so lurkers who made their first post...and there were another 6 or 8 replies whose names I'd seen before around here. So, maybe we have 20-25 lurkers? There's probably a few who didn't respond.



So, experiment complete.



As Brady says, "If anyone (and I know from long experience there are many lurking readers that chose to not participate with this collective) has a serious question, they can email me."



Long experience, eh? many lurkers? Empirical data would prove otherwise.


Even in rec.crafts.glass heyday, I don't recall seeing maybe more that

20 or so posters and as you mention, probably about the same number of lurkers.

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by lurkers. I assume it's folks who visit, but don't participate. I also think you have classified me as one of them because I made my first post a couple of days ago. However, I had not heard of this group until the same day I made the post. I found the group while searching google for stained glass web sites. So - I joined the group and posted a question.

Don't know if this helps your point or not, though.

Actually, I did count you as a lurker...

Quite a while back there was a short thread about your question. I don't recall the exact details, one of the fellows who posts here quite a bit is an expert in old lamps. Maybe he will chime in with some comments for you.

Science has proven that there are 10-20 that read only for every post.

That sounds like a Dennis Brady conclusion.

I am a lurker from Kentucky, I enjoy reading the information, and see the back and forth that goes on, I have learn some and a couple of times add some, I do some stainglass, woodworking, metalworking and pottery ( mostly in the past ). But I enjoy it here so keep up the good work

You mean like a whole damn boatload full of them?

I refuse to compromise my privacy by revealing my presence as a lurker.

(Uh-oh, I shoulda thought this one through!)
