ten months pass...

Have lurked for a while now. Have never been in a position to 'add' anything to ILE on a consistent basis so never bothered at all. Hope to contribute now.....

why DO people lurk here?

I wish I had lurked here rather than making such dumbass posts for the first several months

Because some of the visitors in fact can resist feeding the animals.

it just seems so pointless to me.

oh surely you get over the dumb shit thing within like, two weeks

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 9 April 2004 01:03 (twenty years ago) link

i've been consistently saying dumb shit here for almost three years now

ilx as a whole is still pretty informative in a roundabout way. and it's funny.

when you go to a party do you need to talk to everyone all the time?

I lurked on ILM for a long time, cause reading threads was cool and all, but I rarely have all that much to say about music if it's more than making a list.

I sort of assume lurkers aren't reading as many threads as a lot of regulars do, too.

And what Ned said, too, kind of: most posting by regulars is content-free, the whole overquoted McLuhan bumper sticker thing, etc.; that makes sense once you start posting, but presumably most people don't make their first post until they feel they have something to say.

Okay, that isn't really what Ned said, I don't think.
