No readers?   writers only?

If I respond with the word "lurker" does that clarify the question?

I accuse myself of one heck of a lot of lurking.
I lurk about on threads like this one.
Sometimes my lurking means repeated perusals,
and, I have to say, it's an investment of my time.

Must be the time factor, and the value of time as a resource,
that is the sore spot.
When a posted text is perused, studied, lurked-over
-- I prefer to say, when a post is "read" but you say there are no readers --
without a posted response from the, er, lurker,
then the lurker's investment of time
takes no time away from those of youse guys
who say there are no readers.

I resent being called "no reader." Simple as that.
