Lurkers
 
Man my figurehead picture I posted has had close to 300 views.
And several downloads.
Makes me wonder just how many lurkers follow this group for all the
expert sailing tips some of us provide here for free.

It is odvious 100's and hundreds follow along yet are to meek to type
anything here.
How can we charge them?

Thanks for your suggestions

Joe


Capt. Neal® January 24th 05 10:28 PM



You don't even want most of the lurkers to post.
They lurk because they are illiterate and have
nothing to say worthwhile. Come to think of it,
though, the same thing can be said of Gaynz, Bobsprit,
BB, Ozone, Vito, Miss Mo'lissa, Katysails and several
others.

"katysails" hunted and pecked . . .

But, you still haven't learned something very important.

Woman should always wipe from front to back. Why you insist on
doing it the other way is something I will never understand.

My $.02...

I enjoy talking about sailing. I do not enjoy arguing politics. I do
not enjoy arguing about whether my car (et al.) is "better" than
bobsprit's.

I post once in a while; but mostly lurk. I just don't want to
participate in most of the crap that gets started here.

Useful suggestions? Sorry, I really can't think of anything except to
say, "Talk more about sailing and less about other crap." But that's
not really a realistic comment.

Don't know how to break the news to you, but the 775 visitors I had at my
community page last week probably noticed your album and decided to check it
out, at least some of them did.

I would but found out 299K+ of the views was bob crantz.

Skeered me so much I took it off the boat and sold it, just what I
need.... to come out one morning and have Bob hanging upside down
humping my bow pulpit like one of Gilligans flying monkeys. Who needs
that kind of headache?

Never, unless there is a nice storm going on and I want to watch out

sailing!
