For my 9000th post, I just want to say...

[Javaman]

Thank you to DU. You have helped me maintain my sanity through the truly horrible times.

Thank you to all the posters here on DU that put up with my ravings, snarky remarks, my insightful yet ego driven psuedoeditorials and just all around two cents.

Via DU, I have reawakened my writing talent and found my voice to say no to the machine*.

Thank you Skinner, you run one hell of a sight. :)

Keep the faith. Cindy inspires. Trust nothing from the noise machine. Eat local. Stop using plastic things. Drive less. Appreciate the good times. Cherish the earth. And most of all, love the one your with with all your heart. :)

4. Wise words indeed.

We would all do well to voice appreciation more often.

DU has been the only thing keeping me sane & productive. DUers (for the most part) are an awesome lot. We have great teachers here, from the famous to the humble. Easy to learn something important from just about any one of them.
