If they were here but just lurking, how would you know?
By "lurking" I understand: they would be here reading and voting but not engaging otherwise. In practice, is it any different than not being here at all?
If by "lurking" you mean that they would be here posting under pseudonyms and asking me if I would be able to identify them... Then it's a more interesting question. But I don't think I would be able to identify them from their style.
