But do you read without logging in? I'm just perpetually logged into both my work and my home computer. If I open up GC I'm already logged in....

To clarify, I set the "Remember Me" option.

I read without logging in. (In fact, I've been browsing the board for the past half hour, and only logged in just now 1) to respond to this and 2) to check my PMs)

I don't set the Remember Me option b/c its a shared computer. I'd rather log in myself each time I visit. If I don't have a reason to log in (ex - responding to a post), then I generally would show up as a lurker.

That makes sense. I don't click remember me on the school comps either.

You can also use the "invisible" option so that it doesn't show up when you are online. It helps to keep the unsolicited PMs down.

Sometimes I read without logging in as well because GC likes to log me off now and then.

I find myself logging in because I have my options set to read 40 posts per page, as opposed to the default 10 posts that show up when I don't log in. I like reading my posts all at once.
