Just make a lurking DL.

If your co-workers ever get a hold of the account they are not in a position to spoil your unblemished reputation.

A lurking DL? That's like playing basketball without a ball.

It's so the moderators can track your lurking activities. They like to keep records of which threads each poster is looking at.
