*Lurkers Only*: Now's Your Chance

Cal · 09-12-2012, 02:51 PM

I recently came up with the idea of Lurkers Only threads. These threads may only be posted to by people who have never posted or rarely post. (Rarely is a relative term so if you think you rarely post, you probably do.)

Some of us (who shall remain nameless) are quite bloviating. We are like the people in the LC who testified in every meeting. You know, that brother who made you think, "Why doesn't he just give it a rest?" I think WL called them "monkeys." We monkeys think we are smart and like the sound of our own voices. We talk too much sometimes and we probably intimidate not a few of our newer members.

Lurkers Only threads are not open to monkeys, except to post something like "Welcome to the board, so-and-so!"

So anyway, whether you are signed up or just a guest, we'd like to hear from you. Tell us you story. Make a comment about the board or anything you'd like. Or just say hi. The monkeys need a rest.
