Where on earth did I state that I was talking about lurkers lurking in the last 7 days?  

This is deflection...... I never mentioned 7 days... 

Lurkers have a very clear idea of what is going on from reading these boards for a very long time, not 7 days total... they don't even have to be non posting ever lurkers. there are a lot of people who have posted and post intermittently that still lurk and read the boards.
