I just got a fantastic e-mail from a lady in Ohio who read my profile and wanted to tell me how much she enjoyed it.

No, really....!

She even mentioned the Talking Atheist Bear story.

And she also mentioned that she had only recently discovered the forums and was thinking about perhaps jumping in and participating.

I think she'd be a good fit -- she's articulate and intelligent and obviously has good taste in profiles.

And it occurred to me that, if we could just get MORE of our "lurkers" to jump in -- well, who knows? -- worst case scenario, there would be a lot more people having fun.

I won't name names, so as not to put her on the spot, but I really think she would do well here.

And, as you know, I'm an incredibly good judge of character, as long as it's not someone I'm marrying or dating....

Well spoken Lex...all the way around from your profile, to your judgement of character, to encouraging the "lurkers" to jump in the forums. We all have to get our feet wet at some point in time.

Lurkers, come out and play with us!

I do have a tendency to drift off into roundabout tangents, don't I?



Hey, you made 7000! Congratulations!

lurkers... that sounds so nefarious.

I so agree all the people that email me on here I am always encouraging them to come out and play. I would love to see more and more people out here playing. As long as the drama stays at a low...

Participation is the best thing to do here. That is why there are so many posts about " why am I not getting any date" threads.Don't be shy join in the fun

I'm not lurking... I'm only loitering...

Exactly! If we get enough people complaining about not being able to find dates, maybe a scientist will come up with the answer....!

What kind of scientist would that be?

Probably a phrenologist....

Even oneday us Lurker must come out, an face our fears,an confront what we fear the most ,an learn.

That wasn't so hard now, was it....?

hey! you! COME PLAY WITH US!

I believe it is called Viagra LOL

I'm biting my tongue or fingers now

Dear Lex,

I never know quite how to take you. One minute you're an arrogent...the next a jusge of character.

Mark -- I'm an enigma wrapped in a metaphor wrapped in a crunchy candy shell. Sort of a conceptual, thematic Tootsie Pop.


Or I may just be a bipolar bear....

just jump right in...I did and nobody told me to get lost yet

Welcome agrant333! Or can i call you Lurker?

If you have enough time on your hands to read Lex's profile, you have enough time to join us in these threads!
