In my mind, active lurking is reading the post and enjoying the discussion but consciously (for whatever motive) not responding. And passive lurking is mostly not reading the post and discussions but not LEAVING the list or redirecting to a folder where it's it of view. I've gone through both phases with Silk. Sometimes I'm in a phase of solitude, where my intention is to listen and learn rather than talk and teach. I actively lurk during phases like this. Sometimes I've got something big in my life which needs all of my mindspace, and in such phases processing an interesting idea or discussion is actually a hindrance, and I will passively lurk through such phases.
