As far as lurkers go- and a nicer term for them might be "perusers"- posting on a chatboard is not everybody's cup of tea. I recall when I first started posting I realized that I had to stay with the thread because someone might ask me a question some time later that required an answer. So it's actually a bit of work to keep on top of things, and not everyone has the time or desire.

Also, many collectors wish to maintain their privacy, and that goes beyond posting with an anonymous log in. Many don't even want to discuss what they have in their collections.
