Shout out to you lurkers

Every online community has a group of people who choose to be silent spectators. This group of invisible lurkers actually comprises the majority of the community. The out-there, out-spoken weirdos do most of the posting (thanks, siblings, for being my weirdos). Of course, that means that only the weirdos have voices.

Having now had many discussions with friends and family who have read the blog but have never commented, I see that my blog is no exception. To me, however, the fun of blogging is in sharing a story and having that story remediated with ongoing comments and discussion.

So, come on, Lurkers, take back the power--if you don't want me to write one more offensive bathroom post, let me know!

I refuse to comment on your filthy blog ever again. Don't bite the non-lurking hand that feeds you(r comment box).

Angels, as I anounced in our secret conversation on the broken alarm clock looking like speaker, your assingment is to compare the posting on this blog and destroy the lurkers, including Dr. Travis Lajoie, if your lurking beware, my Angels will find you.
