:
lurker n. One of the `silent majority' in an electronic forum; one who
posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the group's
postings regularly. This term is not pejorative and indeed is casually
used reflexively: "Oh, I'm just lurking." Often used in `the lurkers',
the hypothetical audience for the group's flamage-emitting regulars.
When a lurker speaks up for the first time, this is called `delurking'.
The creator of the popular science-fiction TV series "Babylon 5" has
ties to SF fandom and the hacker culture. In that series, the use of the
term `lurker' for a homeless or displaced person is a conscious
reference to the jargon term.
