From Dictionary.com

lurker:
n. One of the `silent majority' in a electronic forum;one who posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the group's postings regularly. This term is not pejorative and indeed is casually used reflexively: "Oh, I'm just lurking." Often used in`the lurkers', the hypothetical audience for the group's flamage-emitting regulars. When a lurker speaks up for the first time, this is called `delurking'.

Gidget...this was for those peeps (ahem, residents of L.A. and Ann Arbor) that read my blog very frequently but never comment. I'm just always trying to goad them into saying something, anything, but to no avail. Oh well, maybe one day ;)

One can always hope. Maybe they're just shy or something. ;-)
