One of these things is not like the others
Outside park with lots of palm trees against a clear blue sky but the palm tree center in the photo on closer inspection is not like the others: it is taller and the fronds very evenly spaced, and hiding broadcast antennas. There's also a giant ant climbing the trunk which for some people might be the first clue there's something unusual here.

Picture of book, text: ECHO POLL
Source: From on online survey of 233 members of Echo, October 1995.
Margin of Error: I wonder about the Echoids sometimes.

Why do you lurk¿
21% said "I have nothing to say."
16% said they were shy, intimidated, or felt like an outsider.
12% said "To learn," or "To get the lay of the land."
7% said they were voyeurs.
3% said there was nothing worth responding to.
