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,
