A lurker only reads, never posts.

What do you call someone who posts and replies to content.

I'd call them a poster, but that's too easy to confuse with something you hang on a wall.

There are Lurkers, who just circle around sniffin at what we offer, while trying to see if there is anything of interest to see.
Then there are Larkers, who really don't have much interest in the topics, but are bored, and hey, there are posts, so just to pass the time, lets lark about the site until something more interesting catches our attention.
And then there are the Larners, who hang around silently, unnoticed, for what they can "
Larn", the human bots if you will, keeping track of what is going on. Not necessarily devious, as they have no master Bot to report back too, but just filling their memory with our wisdom.
