i just like to read what other people have to say and let my knowledge of tolkien grow.

i am guilty of lurking. but because of the time differences, most things are poted then answered by the next time i get on. so i generally read and let my knowledge grow. though i haev to admit that yes, i came here because of the movies, but reading the many questions and answers, my intrest inthe books grew, so now im reading the histories books.

I also tend to lurk, albeit unintentionally. Often I'll only post when I feel like I have something to contribute that hasn't been said already by somebody much more articulate than I am. Since there are many intelligent, articulate folks on this site, I often just end up casually reading what's being said by others, occasionally contributing my two-cents-worth when I feel it might be helpful. Huzzah to lurkers!

Seriously, wouldn't you rather have me lurking if I had nothing more constructive to say than "Legolas is sooooooooooooooooo hot"?
