I'd change my name to Lurking Lurch but Lurch has already been taken................and no way would I want to be associated with him.
Apparently, Lurch's signature line, "You rang?", was ad-libbed by Cassidy, but was such a hit that it was thereafter regularly written into the scripts.

As far as I am concerned most (pls notice i did not say all) lurkers have insufficient knowledge to be able to contribute; while those that respond usually have good info that they are willing to share, and take the time to do just that. For instance I use Tom Wesenberg as an example, at over 15K posts. I am sure he has better things to do but enjoys sharing and helping. I am also sure he is not worried about his post count

After all, if the lurkers had anything to contribute that was meaningful, why wouldn't they????

The important thing is that we LEARN & SHARE things. If it's done with a little FUN, so be it. Model A'ing is supposed to be FUN. Look up FUN, it's like, WRECKLESS ABANDON or DEVIATION from the usual boring routines.

And if you look up Wreckless Abandon and Fun, is there a photo of Bill Williamson?

I resolved several years ago to only do things that I found pleasureable, aside from the necessary, like cooking and chores. Like my license plate that was on my 48 Ford Hot rod, "FUN NOW"

VERY good thought, Cory
Everyone should do it their way, either as a LURKER or a PARTICIPANT. We should all be our OWN MAN, as everyones' BRAIN??? processes info DIFFERENTLY. My Dog is his "OWN MAN", that's why I LOVE him

Yip, I agree 100% Bill on that.....I did it, done it and still do it my way as a participant and not as a Lurker when it comes to the ladies and this bunk about you can't teach a old dog new tricks is just that......bunk!!!! These young things today make me look like a kindergartener learning the A B Cs all over again.

I forgot about that Lurch, I was thinking about the other "Lurch".

Authentic Lurker:

Years ago there was a story about a certain Single, Senior Female Cougar Lurker.

It was an elderly lady who called police because as she looked out of her window, there was a young, handsome male neighbor next door who shaved every morning in his bathroom ......... buck naked.

Police arrived, looked out of her window and said he only saw the young man from waist up.

She told the policeman to stand on her chair and he would get a much better view.
