What's that all about, anyway?
I prefer to do my stalking without logging in. The Fiona claims to be able to see me through my monitor, and frankly, I just don't want to take any chances.
I was so excited today to see that JP had posted something, and I wanted to quickly see if he had posted anything else, so I went to his profile page to check out his previous posts, but the stupid internet demanded that I log in.
No way, Jose! Not even for the chance to stalk John Proctor will I log in. Not unless I have something to say.

I actually like it that people can't view my profile without logging in. It makes it harder for any non-registered lurkers to track posts.
Why don't you like logging in?

I would stalk john_proctor if it meant logging in with my bank account number and DNA.

Why don't you like logging in?
My cumulative hours sadden me: 108 days, 5 hours, and 30 minutes. Do you know how many dissertations I could have written in that time? ... 31 minutes. See? Logging in is the devil. I would stalk john_proctor if it meant logging in with my bank account number and DNA.
Heh. I was looking for the "like" button. |

Ah, I see what you mean. It kind of freaks me out that you've only been logged in 29 hours more than me yet have been here over three years longer. I don't want to think about what else I could have done with that time. Browse the fora without being able to click on the 'show unread posts' buttons would annoy me though, so I have to be logged in. |

But that's just because I was able to do all my stalking anonymously, without logging in. Until now. Cruel, cruel fora. |

I meant 29 days. Not hours.
You could always hide the "time logged in" thing so you don't have to look at it...

Huh? I guess I'm the clueless one, here. Never occurred to me that I might be able to do anything but lurk if I wasn't logged on. You actually want someone to be able to check up on you without having provided any information that might be useful in a pinch, either altruistically or via subpoena? Wow. I don't, even if we leave out the altruistic part.

Grassy and Chaos--it is only a myth I have the highest post count. Just other people don't log in or change monikers or regularly use socks. Ha I say,

Stalking is just a particular type of lurking. Or vice-versa. A truly committed stalker would find every word someone has written here without the "show stalkee's posts" link. |
