I'll admit, I'm a lurker. I belong to couple of email groups that I rarely contribute to. I read people's blogs and don't leave comments.
Not too long ago, lurkers were mal-intentioned peeping Toms who hid in the bushes of suburbia. No longer. Now we can be ultra-busy soccer moms who want to gather information or have a good read without commiting to a project.
Are you a lurker? Which cyberspots do you frequent without commiting to them? What would it take to draw you out of the bushes?

Better internet service would pull me out of the bushes! It takes a long, long time for me to comment with our creeping dial-up network.
Some days, though, I enjoy catching up with others without being readily noticed. To observe. Maybe that comes from living in a place where my very white skin sets me apart and gets me noticed all the time. It's nice to "blend" for a moment or two.
Haha, yes, I am a lurker. I read your blog and recommend it to others without ever leaving a comment....until now.
I found your blog through Geoffrey's blog. My husband and I were in Hungary with him one summer about five years ago. It's a small world, huh? Anyway, I like your observations.
You caught me, too! I am also a lurker. I check your blog a couple of times a week to see what thoughtful, profound or just funny things you've been up to this week. I think I lurk because I don't feel nearly as witty as most. :-) Feel free to lurk at our blog, too: fourkickshome@blogspot.com.
