So when I clicked on this thread there were 16 lurkers/readers including myself and one watcher, you Sharkie, who are also one of the current lurkers I presume..

Controversial threads get loads of lurkers - hardly surprising - but it's more interesting to me that - for instance - there are currently 5 lurkers on the track thread - which I've been posting on all affie. If they are also followers that makes sense, although there are usually more followers than posters. But why are they lurking? It's good if they're interested - for whatever reasons. It's not that I find it worrying or anything. But what would make a lurker post? There are now 19 ... that's NINETEEN. Unmask yourself sir (or ma'am).
