lurker /n./ One of the 'silent majority' in a electronic forum; one who posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the group's postings regularly.
This term is not pejorative and indeed is casually used reflexively: "Oh, I'm just lurking." Often used in 'the lurkers',
the hypothetical audience for the group's flamage-emitting regulars. When a lurker speaks up for the first time,
this is called 'delurking'.

Cheeky,

I am taking delivery next week on a custom six foot
fish tank. I just learned now that the tank will
not be Y2K compliant. What should I do?
Will my house flood on new years eve? I can't
beleive I was stupid not to ask if the tank would
be compliant.
