Not for nothing, but the lurkers theoretically already know everything about us, due to the lurking....
I found out that if you lurk too long, you start thinking of responses to posts and threads, and then when you do post you do so with the responses that never actually made it to the board in mind. And people can assume the new poster is, you know, insane. Could just be me, though.
Oh yeah. I delurked somewhere else one time with a whole list of things I was going to respond to from the previous year. Good times. Then I re-lurked.
Barb, I'm on a Mac as well. Hold the cursor over the blue name and the number shows up in the status bar at the bottom of the page at the end of a string of code: "Go to "http//www.buffistas.org/profile.php?id=NUMBER"
Barb, I have a MacBook. When I hover the cursor over someone's name, and then look down at the grey bar at the very bottom of my window, their number is there. Jesse's number 8. Wow.
Not sure about Barb, but in Safari on my mac, I don't have a grey bar.
Ah - perhaps it's a Firefox thing?
Nope, I'm on Safari and I found it. It just didn't occur to me to look DOWN. I'm so accustomed to things showing up right next to where I'm hovering. DUH.
And msbelle, I think if you go into Preferences for Safari, you can request that the bar show up as part of your window.
And re-reading my answer to Seska, I can see why some people may think I'm nuts.
I'm not nuts.
I'm just trying to make as much as spare time as I possibly can.

Well, I didn't like to say it, as such.*
*I would so much like to follow this sentence with an ellipsis. Watch me try really hard not to do so.
I don't try and compel you ellipsis people to do anything you don't want to do.
At least, not until we'll have a punctuation thread.

Crap, she's figured out the secret plan, quick, fellow-lurkers, hide the files!!1
