    What is a "Lurker"?

    Since Spike did such a great job explaining "trolls"; could someone tell me what a "Lurker" is ?

    Thanks for the info Gaz By the way, where do find all the time to create fakes, post fakes to this site and others, and moderate this site? Share your secret please. The older I get (will be 44 in 9 days) the shorter the days get and the less time I have to get anything done.

    Same story here, except for 16 years it was every morning since I worked as an A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) mechanic for a major US airline on midnight 12 hour shift. Now I'm paying for it as I suffered a heart attack a few months back due to an irregular heartbeat, and am now having Liver complications due to taking Coumadin (rat poison) to keep heartbeat right. Still hit the Jaguarmiester on the weekends though. Don't miss the bar seen to much - too many phonies in bars. Like you, biggest challenge these days is trying to keep the wife happy ( key word is try). I'll lift a toast to you tonight for all the great posts.

    that ironic. many people's only drink of the year (here in the U.S. at least) is usually because they go drinking on their birthday.

    Well, I just found out I'm going back into the hospital on Monday, and since my birthday is next Saturday, you all can have a drink on me (since I probably won't be able too).
