Pardon my ignorance. But someone who is learning and uses this site to enhance and grow their knowledge. Is a "lurker"??!!!!
Interesting concept when this site is promoted as a place all can come for learning.
I don't know why that term offends me but it does.
I do agree with this gentleman that less arguing and more sharing of positive posts and helping all do the best for this breed is why I "lurk" on here.
Have a great Saturday I'm off to lurk somewhere else. Have fun.
I don't think Walt meant you specifically. "Lurker" is simply someone reading/following a thread or conversation who does not post. Whether they are feeling a bit intimidated or are uninspired to speak up, normally they quietly watch from "the sidelines" as the discussion moves along. I don't know why it would offend, as it clearly doesn't apply to you. At any rate, it's not a bad term like "stalker", which among other definitions is a person who shows up simply to harass another poster.
