lurker
The activity of one of the "silent
majority" in a electronic forum such as Usenet; posting
occasionally or not at all but reading 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.
Lurking and reading the FAQ are recommended netiquette for
beginners who need to learn the history and practises of the
group before posting.

(jargon) | 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.
