</div>Perhaps a bit of conflict in the definition, as it seems to say that listening isn't active participation. 

My working definition for leadership, in any field, is practice made visible. Maybe visible is useful in place of active. 

Yes, this suggests a distinction between lurkers and leaders, but it also allows for the definition of leader and our leadership ranks here to expand. 

I have been very visible here in the past but less so in recent years. Reading most everything, but not so visible. 

I think every single posting leads some us somewhere, even if those places aren't so obvious. 

Enjoying seeing so many familiar names mixed in with new ones.

In the game, as described, the definition of [lurker] is clear:

"...someone who examines these OSLIST threads periodically but does     not actively participate."

The definition is purposefully loose, so anyone can self-identify with it, and optionally play the game.

Dear all,

It is very interesting - that asking who are lurkers - encouraged the lurkers to come out and write a few sentences...

I am curious - how do we really define LURKERS?

Would love to listen to your thoughts on this....

True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong. 
Create happiness, and happy you will be.
