Lurker:  Mail! Glorious mail!  I can't get enough!

[A useless part of society, the lurker does not much except take up precious

Is one who sends email to the other illustrious members of the list also 
a lurker? ^_^

Lurker:  Oh!  This one looks good enough to respond to!  I'd better
         get on that right now.

[The lurker quickly transforms into an proof-reader, as he/she now responds to
other people's hard-written works.]

Proof-reader:  Hmm, maybe this isn't so bad, after all.

Like it?
Please C&C.

The part where Ranma died and went to hell was priceless, will there be 
a sequel? Your loyal readers must know! (Mouse prepares his remote
