Jonpim, I have been on the Internet since 1986, and I do not think of "lurker" as derogatory at all. In fact, the description on Winternet isn't derogatory! In fact, from Webopia:
To eavesdrop on a or in. In most areas, lurking is perfectly acceptable behavior and is, in fact, encouraged so that you get the feel of the area before posting your own comments.

Jonpim, those definitions are not the same as the definition on-line (see my earlier post).

I am strongly in favour of lurking - which is why I think we should have as many of the boards as possible open to non-members. Some people will lurk for months or years before posting - and fair play to them!

Words change meaning. Bad means Good. Wicked means Excellent. Excellent means, er, not sure, but Keanu Reeves told me I had to be it to everyone. So it seems I am out of touch and Lurker is an OK term. Thank you: I accept your opinions. I apologise for being grouchy and pedantic.

Off original thread (sorry) but while into terminology is there a suitable term for someone whose post refers only to one so far back up the thread it is incomprehensible to 99% of the viewers ? They tend also to be of a personal nature and generally break up the flow.
Back-flipper kind of describes it but I am sure our mighty collective brains can come up with something better or funnier.

There have been quite a few people who have posted on snowHeads who admitted to being "non-posters" on SCGB, but used to read stuff a lot. There must be many more who got lost in the move.
