God I love this board!
-TL
Well it seems our switchboard is lighting up from that interview we had from long-time-lurker-to-posting-madman (and cheese danish extraordinaire) Schwimmy!
Let's take a couple of your calls!
Go ahead caller - you're live on "I was a Lurker"
Click.
Yes... let's go to the next caller...
Hello caller - you are live on "I Was a Lurker..." Do you have a comment on our interview?
Click!
All right. We probably could use a screener for this show. I wonder if the network (ESMB) would ever spring for one. Doubt it!
Shall I summon the courage to answer the next caller to "I was a Lurker...?"
Hello caller. You're live on "I was a Lurker..." Do you have a comment on the interview we just had?
CLICK!
This is the problem with having a radio show on a message board. There is no screener, and the peanut gallery rules.
And the further problem with having a call-in radio show which broadcasts to lurkers, is that LURKERS NEVER CALL IN!
That's all right. I know you are out there, lurkers.
I'm never gonna give you up.
And now for a musical interlude. This one goes out to all the lurkers out there:
Help me out here, guys. At some point in this process does one become a Homo Poster? Or a Poster Novis?and as one grooves in:
'Man, this is fun!'
and in a final burst of freedom and glory:
'Alright, I'm posting on this board!!'
Once having handled his lower level case, one now moves up onto the
OPERATING POSTER levels
These states are already acknowledged by the stars accompanying ones name.
But it is high time we revamped this system and alter it into the
NEW GOLDEN AGE OF ESMB
Alanzo, over to you!

Homo says what?

Hi, Rush - er, I mean, Alanzo!
I'm a longtime lurker, few hundred times poster.
I just wanted to say I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.
I mean sometimes I'm in a hurry and don't want to post so I just lurk.
But other times I just feel the need to vent and am compelled to post so I log in.
And I'm thinking its very Hubbardian, this message board business, starting at a low gradient of:
'OK, I'll have a look at this stuff, just once...what can it hurt'
moving up to:
'Gosh, these people are OK - I've thought about those things myself'
and as one grooves in:
'Man, this is fun!'
and in a final burst of freedom and glory:
'Alright, I'm posting on this board!!'
Once having handled his lower level case, one now moves up onto the

Alanzo, over to you!
I just noticed there are 533 Guests online ESMB. This close to 5X the usual!
Hey Guests, if you signup and join ESMB, there is a live chat you can join into. You can actually even TALK with others. Say Hi and enter into the communications of/with Free Beings.
530 now.
Help me out here, guys. At some point in this process does one become a Homo Poster?
Er, ah...
If this is a gay thing I am going to stop posting!
Back to the Hotties thread for me!
Let me clarify.
Some of the listeners to the "I was a Lurker" show are homo posters. And there is nothing wrong with that.
But, as a Lurker, when you first Go Poster, you are considered a Poster Novis.
It reflects a new and higher state for Mankind.
Since every time I look at the number of people who are presently reading ESMB, the Lurkers outnumber the Members by at least 3 to 1, I thought I would start a thread where the Lurkers are finally allowed to speak.
And since I am known as "the Lurker's Poster" I thought I would kick off this thread by speaking for you:
FUCK THE DEAD SKULL OF L. RON HUBBARD!
(bullbait!)
