OK Aitch, I'll stop being a lurker.
At the moment I don't have any online businesses so it's unlikely I'll have many comments to make.
But speaking of lurkers, think of the forum as a football match. You've got these few players in the middle (the ones that post the comments) and then there's all the spectators (lurkers) sitting around watching the game. You probably can't hear them cheering but if it's a good forum, I bet a lot of them are. And if they like your post and you've got a link to your web site or blog, maybe they'll check it out. I know I do. I've found more interesting sites through forums than surfing through Dogpile searches.
As you can see I tend to go for the underdog. Others say Google, I say Dogpile. GO THE LURKERS!
(And I enjoyed being a lurker too. Now you shamed me out of it. :-(
Cheers
Richard
