De-lurk and donate, all for a good cause

According to Miss Zoot who found out from Sheryl today (*) is De-Lurking Day. So say hi.

As an added incentive (idea stolen from Sheryl), I'll donate $1 per comment to CARE USA for the earthquake and tsunami victims. Up to $100. Plus! My company does donation matching, so it's really worth $2 a comment.

So, what do you say?

(*) updated: Today = until I wake up tomorrow morning and close this post.

sphinx said:

Does it count if we have commented before? *comments*

Zoot said:

I found your site AGES ago when Looking for some coding help for showing comment leaders (which I never figured out, for the record) and I am here a LOT, but I rarely comment. How hideous is that? hehe.

But. I'm here. I'm proud to be a Lurker.

Oh - and I think I'll do the same donation per comment thing. GREAT Idea.

Lisa said:

Great idea! I hope you get loads of comments. smile

Trinity said:

Here's aother comment toward a great idea!

Not really a lurker, but I'll comment anyway.

Good luck with the donation! It's good to see regular people help out those in need.

De-lurking for a good cause

huy said:

this is actually my first time here. I actually got here from jen's, but I thought I'd leave a comment for a good cause.

Solonor said:

Ya want I should make a big deal outta this and send over a bazillion commenters? (OK, maybe just 2, but they're really long-winded.)

Diane said:

Solonor sent me. So make that three. wink

*waves hi* been a long time since I have commented.
(nice skins)


(now I gotta go back and say something witty to Solonar - dang it. this de-lurking thing is starting to really work)

G said:

From one Coloradoan to another....Your on!!! I'm so going to tell on you!

Bonnie said:

Hi. My name is Bonnie and I'm a chronic lurker.

Isabella said:

I've never lurked here before, but I may start tomorrow. No lurking today though, as I want to help maximize the donation. Cheers.

Ric The Schmuck said:

I'm not a lurker, I just haven't passed by here before. But Solonor told me to do it, so there.
It is his fault.

Congratulations on a wonderful effort.

Saw Genuine featuring your donation offer on his post. So here I am, greetings, and thank you for doing the Good Thing. I too am donating for each commenter, so come on over!

Pinged you too...just to get the word out.

Excellent site here. I'll stroll around here for a bit.

Pete B said:

Wowza-nice that you're doing this.......

Genuine sent me, too - via BE of course. Here's my comment, now fork over the buck! By the way, I grew up near Englewood.

coachleslie said:

Stopping by to say Happy De-lurking Day!!

Risa said:

What a great idea!!!!

annie said:

I'm doing the same but don't have an employer to match me . Came by way of Genuine... hope he doesn't start sending people to me, I didn't put a limit on what I'd donate (assuming I'd get maybe 5 comments!) A plug from Genuine could break my bank!

Christine said:

Blurking is bad, so I had to say hi! grin

Annessa said:

I think this idea is almost as terrific as you are. Plus, now there's no excuse for me to just lurk.

Sibeal said:

It's been awhile for me.. but I'm stopping in to say hi!

I'm not normally a lurker - but I've been guilty of lurking for a few weeks now. So instead of sleeping, I'm commenting! smile

Dave said:

Happy De-Lurking day!
