This definition of lurker has the advantage of being clear-cut enough that numbers are meaningful, but does not represent as important a group in online community dynamics as the definition of lurker as someone who reads but does not post, regardless of whether or not he has an account.
Also, with that definition, I have not been a lurker for quite a while, and yet I appear to be accumulating free karma points for saying “hi” anyway. Not complaining.
