Lurkers aren't necessarily a bad problem. If someone posts a question and it gets answered quickly, then there's no need for additional posts to answer the question again.

I much prefer reading a board where people know when to lurk rather than post similar/rephrased answers.

While there is definitely a need for posts about opinions and discussions on a topic, it's not needed in every thread, sometimes a concise, well put-together answer can be of far more useful for readers than pages and pages of drivel and "me too" posts.
