I didn't know there was a "Lurking Day"

I came upon Husbands Anon and he has declared it Lurking Day.

A day where everyone who reads a blog just leaves a quick comment or note to let the blogger know who you are.

I know I've lurked myself sometimes, although I don't like to admit it. But hey if you like someone just leave a note and let them know you were there.

    Hi Michael,

    I realize I'm an idiot, but I'm puzzled. Comments are nice, I love getting them. But ... why is it considered so rude to lurk? I was on another blogsite earlier and the chick was having a complete stroke because someone was lurking. Called him an a-hole, posted all his stats, and everything.

    I have heard about some people leaving nasty comments and linking them back to someone else's blog, which is no good. but why is it a big deal if people visit and dont comment? I mean, doesnt that come with the territory of having a "public access forum"?

    I'm not criticizing your post here, I'm seriously curious. :)

    BTW, Hi again! ;)

    Hi Clew,

    You're not an idiot at all. Comments are nice and all, and hey who doesn't like getting them.

    Whenever I read a new blog, I always try to leave some kind of note to the blogster so that they knew I was there, it's then my decision to put them in my favorites and go back again.

    I really don't care if someone is "lurking," because I figure if someone keeps coming back but doesn't leave a comment then they must like "something" about your blog. Eventually they'll leave a comment when you hit on something they really enjoy.

    I guess the only ones I don't enjoy are the anonymous ones, why bother leaving a comment if you can't leave your name (even if it's not your real name).

    I think lurkers are good, we all do it, but I guess this post was more to just get people to leave comments so that bloggers know they're being enjoyed by others.

    I'm here often, and often I lurk. Sometimes I like to leave you a comment, like today, for example. :-)

    I'm here all the time. You know that! I should leave comments but one I've thought of something, to then type it make me feel like I've repeated myself! Just know that if I don't leave a comment, I have been by!
