I must confess to the DU....

[file83]

If I read a post that has 13 Recommends, I am compelled to vote it up to 14, whether I like it or not.

What's your DU confession...?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. my confession --

anything above 5 is overkill:D

[Audio_Al]

2. Math and engineering background...

I like to round it up to the next prime number.

:sarcasm:

Audio Al, your Radio Pal

[file83]

6. Ooo...that's a tempting one.

:rofl:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. haha, good one!

:thumbsup:

[lumberjack_jeff]

44. If a post has 100 recommends

I won't recommend it, even if it *is* the most profound thing ever written.

I guess I'm as attracted to the "underground" as the "Democratic".

[madeline_con]

3. I like to vote "other" in polls. n/t

[Snotcicles]

21. I confess, I like to write down the username of a post I can't stand

then change just a letter or two in it, making it a more suiting name.

[Audio_Al]

4. Kicked and recommended by me (1)

[zabet]

5. My DU confession...

I cannot post with the cool
colored squares. I am cyber-
challenged. :blush:

[file83]

7. What are those?

...Oh, wait.

[EFerrari]

9. I can't either and that's why I'm afraid of the research forum.

I don't know how to color a font and my bookmarks are organized like Al Bundy's junk drawer.

:toast:

[mogster]

19. Tip:

Export your bookmarks to a html-file, store it on your hard drive and bookmark it. Much easier to find items you've stored when they're in a web page as ordinary links - you can even search the page. I had the same problem until I did that :P

[EFerrari]

22. Hi there, mogster! That's a good idea.

:hi:

[silverweb]

27. Coloring fonts...

When you reply to any post, above the subject line is a link to the HTML lookup table with instructions. It's fun!

[EFerrari]

38. I'm going to try it but I don't read html very well.

:hi:

[rucky]

10. Really long posts with lots of links and blockquotes...

I've rec'd tons of them, even though I've fully read and clicked through maybe one or two. for all I know they could link to Teletubbies.com

[Uncle Joe]

11. I feel compelled to kick and recommend confessions, file83. n/t

[DeSwiss]

12. I'm confessing that I just K&R'd this thread....

TO THE GREATEST PAGE!!!!!

And that's all I'm confessing until you read me my rights and I get a free attorney. And can I have an investment attorney. I could use one right now.....

[tomreedtoon]

13. I confess: most people here can't write or think clearly.

A twenty-page rant about "Why George Bush Sucks" is preaching to the choir now. So is a twenty-five page point-by-point justification for buying a gas-thrifty car. This isn't helping to convince anyone but the already convinced. Maybe it makes you feel better (self-pleasuring always does) but it doesn't "create" any new life in the progressive movement.

Most posters would be afraid to take their arguments public.

'Nuff said.

[shadowknows69]

18. My confession

I annoyingly take my rants public as much as possible.

[tomreedtoon]

29. Ah, but Shadow, your posts are NOT rants.

They are honest documentary evidence of what is happening in this country. And unlike many posters here, you DO know how to write. Better than me, in fact. You remember to put a human face on just about everyone you encounter.

[taterguy]

14. I say things on this site that I would never dream of saying in real life

I'll berate folks for things that I would never mention to people that I actually know.

Mostly just because I can.

[Perry Logan]

15. I'll recommend any thread that doesn't viciously attack Democrats. There've been a few.

[Onlooker]

16. I'm never first to vote when I create a poll n/t

[nonconformist]

17. I only post about half the posts I write, if that

I have a tendency to write out posts and then just hit the back button. Sometimes I just decide I don't want to get into it, but usually it's because I've already lost interest. I'm fickle like that.

[nuxvomica]

23. Me too

I often write rather lengthy and carefully written prose-poem replies and by the time I'm finished, I've gotten it "out of my system" so I hit the back button. Odds are not very good you'll even see this reply.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

28. Not even half...same reasons n/t

[caseycoon]

20. When I try to reply to posts about bushco atrocites

All I can think of are cusswords & anything sensible I wanted to say goes out of my brain entirely. In those cases I don't send the post & don't reply. As you can see I haven't posted much, but I have been here just over a year.
I really hate repugs & the things they have done & will do to our country.

[maddiejoan]

24. Even though Hillary is not my top pick --

-- I find myself leaping to her defense.

Sorry. I just don't see her as the evil corporate monster she's portrayed as, and while I support Kucinich in the primaries, I would enthusiastically support Hillary if she were the nominee.

[Basileus Basileon]

33. Same here. nt

[Kurovski]

25. I spend a lot of time imagining all of you naked.

[Breeze54]

30. You poor, poor thing!

:P



:rofl:

[scarletwoman]

34. I knew that.

[Kurovski]

36. Was it that poll thread?

[scarletwoman]

42. It's bigger than your poll. It's the raw elemental power of the too smart and too handsome Kurovski.

The Kurovski knows that by *imagining* everyone naked, he is actually compelling everyone to be be naked.

The too smart and too handsome Kurovski shows up in a thread, and everyone starts asking themselves, "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"

And then we all take our clothes off.

sw

[Kurovski]

43. I knew that.

Nothing is bigger than my poll.

[scarletwoman]

45. "Nothing is bigger than my poll." Ah, sweet mystery of life...

[Kurovski]

46. I love that movie...

with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength.

See? I know my Scripture, too.

[scarletwoman]

47. I knew that.

[Kurovski]

50. I knew you knew that.

We're both pretty much all-knowing.

Which is quite different from being know-it-alls.

[scarletwoman]

51. Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?

[Kurovski]

54. You know what to do.

[Patsy Stone]

52. And I look good!

Happy Black Friday, Señor! :hi:

[Kurovski]

53. I knew that, too.

:hi:

[KoKo]

26. I kick posts that are interesting are going to archives too fast because

they were posted at a bad time or something else was going on where folks were swarming. Sort of like the "Diary Rescue" over at KOS.. I like to rescue DU Post orphans.

[B Calm]

31. Since 7 is a lucky number, I'm not going to recommend this post!

[eleny]

32. I bookmark threads to read later and then forget all about them

[Basileus Basileon]

35. I must confess, that despite my avatar, I am actually

not really Joe Biden. I know, there's the picture of Joe Biden right there, but it's a lie. That's not actually me. I don't really look like that at all. I have dark hair, green eyes, and am only 22 years old. I have never been elected to the Senate. I've been deceiving you all! God, I feel terrible.

[montana_hazeleyes]

37. Thank you Baseileus,

you have given me the courage to admit my own sham.

I am NOT a Bald Eagle.

[Kurovski]

55. And I'm not Howard Dean.

But he IS my boyfriend.

[LSK]

39. sometimes I do that with a post with 4 votes

Not always thou.

[lame54]

40. i like to do that with post that have 12 recs

[SidDithers]

41. I often feel guilty after posting snark...

but sometimes it's so damn deserved.

Sid

[gatorboy]

48. Usually I do after 2 recs.

But three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people recommending a thread? They may think it's an
organization.
And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day recommending a thread???. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

[NNN0LHI]

49. I don't vote jack

And don't want anyone voting my stuff either.

:P

Don
