(To the tune of "My Bonny lies over the ocean") The Lurkers support me in email They all think I'm great don't you know. You posters just don't understand me But soon you will reap what you sow. Lurkers, lurkers, lurkers support me, you'll see, you'll see off in e-mail the lurkers support me, you'll see. The lurkers support me in email "So why don't they post?" you all cry They're scared of your hostile intentions they just can't be as brave as I. Lurkers etc. One day I'll round up all my lurkers we'll have a newsgroup of our own without all this flak from you morons my lurkers will post round my throne. Lurkers etc.
