I'm probably closest to the Lurker, because I don't have much stomach for endless debate. When I feel the urge to weigh into an argument, I usually speak my piece and then shut up after a rebuttal or two. Of course some would say this is more representative of Profundus Maximus. I suspect I also have elements of the Eagle Scout and definitely the Grammarian. Oh and I have some Lonely Guy going too, though I've never felt the urge to flame just for the sake of human contact.
I suspect my daughter is a burgeoning Net Rat. At age 6 she is just as at home (maybe more) talking with teachers as with the other kids, and knows all the first and second grade teachers from talking with them at recess. When she reaches a certain level of spelling & typing competence, I imagine the prospect of being able to join a discussion with grownups who will not know she's "just a kid" will prove irresistable.
