Line 1:
{{
A '''Lurker''' is the internet equivalent of that creepy guy at the party who stands in the corner all night, listening to other people's conversations, and no one can remember who invited him. Except somewhat less creepy (as you don't see him).
Line 10:
Related to the [[Tropers/Unknown Troper|Unknown Troper]].
''Not'' related to the advanced/evolved form of a [[Starcraft|Zerg Hydralisk]], nor the [[Hobos|homeless people]] on ''[[Babylon 5]]'' (although they were ''named'' for the online variety by [[J. Michael Straczynski]]).
Some sites, such as [[Image Boards|4chan]], will actually suggest that you should "lurk moar" if you prove ignorant of the etiquette, such as it is.

* In the [[Destroyer]], Dr. Smith is the original lurker. The assumption presented in the later books is that Mark Howard follows in these footsteps.
