Lurking and reading the posts is more interesting
than what's on the boob tube sometimes.
I find lurking provides good entertainment.
Sorry if that bothers anyone.

Sneak emphasizes the attempt to avoid being seen. It has connotations of slinking and of an abject meanness of manner, whether there exists a sinister intent or the desire to avoid punishment for some misdeed.
