I have to sayLingerer has a certain ring to it though.
Hmmm, thinking about it a Lingerer would be the kind of person who publically says they are leaving (often citing various teen-angst related reasons for doing so) then hangs about waiting for the attention their pathetic post has attracted.

mmm...Didn't really think about it. I guess I just thought of it as another term for hanging around, which it is. People get a little wrapped up in the whole webspeak thing to point of dreariness. Why limit the language? I thought. While I like your definition of lingerer (how about malingerer?), I do find it so bothersome to be corrected - dear boy.
