- hi posters and lurkers, netters all,
-
-
- i am he that lurks in the net in search of the female of my species.
- i have cruised this electronic ocean feeding on information for the
- past several years surfacing only occasionally to post. as a serious
- researcher of the quasi-science of netology, i can tell you that we
- lurkers are a vastly more numerous species than you regular posters.
- but because we are bottom-feeders, we are seldom seen. of course,
- our behavior protects us from flamers and other such dangers in the
- environment but it does make it difficult for he-lurkers to meet
- she-lurkers and thus perpetuate our species (through the generation of
- new ideas and reasons to continue lurking).
-
- being a long-time lurker, i am acutely aware of the cautious attitude
- that prevents many lurkers from ever meeting. prior to the advent of
- anonymous messaging services, this was a difficult problem to overcome.
- now, however, it is no problem at all. therefore, i invite and
- encourage she-lurkers everywhere to e-mail me (through this anonymous
- service which will guarantee your safety, not that you need to be
- concerned, for i am not a member of one of those poisonous varieties
- of lurker). i offer those she-lurkers who respond the opportunity to
- explore with me those rare and beautiful regions of this electronic
- ocean where few have ever gone before. i don't care what you lurk like.
- but lest you think i am dangling bait here for a meeting of some form
- of LA (Lurkers Anonymous), i will assure you now that i am proposing
- only a swim for the mutual inspiration of two.
-
- feed well friends, and ladies do contact me,
-
-
- dr. lurque s. netter, iii
- founder and director
- the institute for netological studies
