how many here only lurk, rather than posting occasionally? from the beginning in 2005, until 2010, i just lurked because i didn't feel mature and with-it sufficient to make any sensible posts here. :oops:

I voted for ice cream (lactose-free ice cream, that is), but I also lurked only during my first months here at WP. I wanted to introduce myself first before posting and didn't know how to go about that.

I lurk a lot more than I post, but lately I've been having a go at it. The first month or two I was here I strictly lurked.

I really like ice cream!

I go through periods of posting sometimes and periods of strictly lurking.

I mostly lurk these days. I have a deficiency as far as language is concerned but understand it greatly when read. Back then when I joined I was either mostly ignored or made a fool. These days I try and be careful with what I post. Hopefully this won't come out too ret*d... :?

I lurked until July 2011, then started posting (there were very few posts before that point). I wasn't comfortable really posting until I was diagnosed.

I lurked here for a little bit in 2004 when this place first opened. Then I lurked here for a few days in 2006 before registering.

just remember, 27 more posts and then you get to name a custom rank! :) btw, my favorite is any diet flavor. but if somebody offered me some roast beef and gravy icecream, i'd give it a try, for sure :thumleft:

I only ever post when I feel I have anything truly significant to say. I really don't need to respond to absolutely everything I read if it's not adding much to the discussion.

I lurked for about a year, and then became a member. It a few months after that before I started posting.

I like ice cream, too! Occasionally I will make a no frills version at home out of vanilla soy milk and chocolate Ovaltine.

everytime i've tried to make icecream, it turned out to be a gloppy unpalatable mess. i tried to make beer ice cream once, and it especially was a disappointment. i'm glad ben and jerrys makes a stout ice cream that i got to try. it was much better.

I just jumped right in. Y'all seemed so cool here, that I was pretty sure you wouldn't bite my head off. :D

Well I do like ice cream, but the diabetes means that posting here is better for me.
