I remember when I first started posting that I felt obligated to qualify everything I said with "I'm a lurker, but..." or "Lurker chiming in."
I just wanted to say, Lurkers: Stop minimizing your contributions! Your opinion counts just as much as a regular's. Even more, sometimes... fresh perspectives round out the flavor around here.
Nobody will be offended that a lurker dared to offer their opinion. This is a public forum!
I hope this message comes out as encouraging and welcoming, and not criticizing.
