You will be surprised how many of the lurkers are leftards from left wing websites, news organizations and various “watchdog” groups. If they posted here they would get zotted in a nanosecond which is always great to watch.
I know there are a lot of those.
I tell people whenever I get a chance about Free Republic, some of whom have asked me where I learned about such and such tidbit of information I have given them.
Maybe some of these people are now the lurkers of whom I speak.
It’s amazing how many conservatives I have run into who have never heard of this site.
