I thought it was people reading the thread when you clicked on it, including you, regardless of whether you are a watcher or not. 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..

Oh - what a serendipitous pair of posts yours and mine make, JB - in a Rolling Stones way...

It's not exactly got legs this thread though, has it? 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). |

But if this develops into self generating counting and quipping thread (dull to me but partly my own fault ) I will never find out the answer to my questions cos I'll get bored and wander off.
