Journal: Lurking?

I found it obligatory to lurk on Slashdot for about 2 years before posting. I don't know if it was due to the eccentricity of the Slashdot culture or my extreme anti-social disorder. I'm going with the combination of both and the fact there is a skyscraper sized learning curve on most topics. Can anyone else break my lurking record?

Lurking:
To read a network newsgroup or electronic mailing list and not post any messages; usually considered to be good netiquette for those unfamiliar with the newsgroup. Most regular participants appreciate new contributors getting the feel of the discussion before jumping in.
