I comment enough that I can top-level, but all of my comments come in relatively short spurts of activity interspaced by much longer periods of inactivity (say a day or two of activity per 1 or 2 months). Perhaps a good standard would be to go up to a randomly selected group of readers and ask if they know me by my screen name. Last time I checked this the answer was no, so I guess I’ll call myself a lurker, but if anyone objects, I won’t say boo.
The definition is not very important, but I don’t think you count as a lurker. Lurking is more like total non-participation, not occasionally participating. You’re also probably above the median for karma on Less Wrong.
I’m not sure if I count as a lurker...

Anyway, hi!

Anyways, all are welcome in this thread.
