I could try getting Ryan to delurk. I believe he has some penetrating insights to share about feeds, along the lines of "blblblblbl".
Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.

Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Maybe we should just invent a Mary Sue Lurker.
Yeah! That would definitely use up some time. Because you know how long it would take to reach a consensus on what a Buffista Mary Sue would be like? Just the cilantro/olive/serial comma decisions alone...
ETA: Have at it, bt! The sprog are bound to take over one day. Why not today?

I could change my user name and re-delurk.
Or perhaps instead may I suggest that Mary Sue Lurker works for the OED defining new words and re-defining old ones.

That would be our erinaceous.
One of the problems with the b.org is that several of our members are pretty much real-life Mary Sues, ruining it for the rest of us.

That's the spirit!

Right? But then there's the benefit of being able to brag on them in an amazingly vast array of topics in cocktail conversation. Not that I remember the last time I had an actual cocktail conversation. Still.

As flea said, we already have one of those.

See what I'm saying? This Mary Sue Buffista thing would take a LOT of work.

Of course you already have one of those. How silly of me. (Consider my mind boggled).
Let's see if I can dream up the perfect Buffista job that isn't already occupied.
Mary Sue Lurker would delurk in October but sadly she's on assignment in Milan reviewing the Winter shoe lines for Vanity Fair.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Shambles! Yay for more Canadians!
I'm excited that I helped encourage a delurk. And clearly one of very high quality.
Montreal is a great city and I have a bunch of family there. Next time I visit, I'll post in Apocolypse and we could have a mini-F2F!
Many welcomes to the other delurkers, too: ehab, Leigh (almost a name overlap - I'm a Louise), Una, Maysa and anyone else I missed. This is a very fun thread.
