Hey You Habitual Lurkers


I have been noticing that this board has a tremendous amount of lurkers.
Why so shy?
So many registered users and maybe 100 (or so) of us flapping away?
Even the unregistered users, if you are a Contractor and can jump in on some good clean professional conversation, then register and join in.
It doesn't cost a dime, and is spam free.
What sux is that there is a lurker out there that has some real good/new ideas that could be beneficial.
It's a shame you don't 'jump in' and participate, even a little.
Don't worry about saying something stupid, I do that every day and they still let me play.
When you do sign up, go to Introductions and introduce yourself.
Tell them, "Peladu sent me."
Seriously, Lurker, go ahead and pop your cherry and join in, I want to learn something new.

Yea, but if you learn 1 (one) shortcut, then it will be well worth the sleep loss.

I think what you should ask is "What should I charge to be a mod?"

I lurk - usually it is because I am so intimidated by everyones wisdom and knowledge, and feel I don't have anything remotely intelligent to add. :
Now I hope you didn't believe that, because if you did... I have a popsicle stand in Antartica for sale.......

Anyhoo, how much should I be charging for bookkeeping?? 2:
