People can be different parts of these three classifications to different groups.

I would add also that one entity (human) can be different roles on different days; at different times; on different topics; or over time.

Also suggestion adjust the numbers (as they were made up) to the pareto principle

The Pareto Principle is probably the proportion of lurkers to participants; the number should really be 96-4, but 95-5 is a nice, round number, and has a certain... statistical flavor.
