Agreed.

There have been many people I have met at an industry conference who know who I am but never or rarely post although being members for a long time. I have also had probably 90% of people who purchase tube sites, content, or whatever from GFY are just lurkers. They have early reg dates, but rarely post and say as much when contacting me.

While the 'reasons' vary as to why they do not post, I would say the number of industry people who lurk is fairly high. Many of them are higher value in regards to closing business as well. They can tell you about many of the things happening on the forums, but have not actually posted for years.
