Just wanna say thanks....
... to all of you DUers who put their ideas and thoughts out there for us to read and critique. I don't agree with everyone on every issue, but I do appreciate knowing your thoughts and your willingness to express them. It's fine to just read and comment, but for those who go to the trouble to compose an original post, kudos.

For as long as I have been here, 9 yrs+, I don't have a huge post count, but I read here every day, several times a day.

Let me say my world would be worse off without DU. For me, it's the one bright light in the dark sea we call politics.

It's like back in 2001, the admins said "Let there be light"....and there was light! That light's been on for damn near 10 yrs now!

Thank all of you for what you do!

2. Same here
Been here from the beginning and don't have a hugh post count...but read almost every day.
And in a way this is my sanity sancturary...where I can come and find others that think a lot like me or not but teach me new ways of thinking...it is invaluable to me to have this place.

4. Yes, Thank you Du
I have been watching and reading this site for few years now and have just recently started posting. Everyone so far has welcomed me with open arms and ears. DU has been an oasis in a sea of crazy here in the south.

moment jumping up and yelling "yay" from my chair to the same DUer on a different issue. And I've learned PLENTY and changed my mind about some things, even.

I live in the 6th Circle of Red State Hell (Maricopa County, AZ). This place is like spa vacation for me--I'm not kidding.

Y'all are good folks. Thanks.

9. I've been here since 2001. I come here at least once a day
I don;t know if this makes me more informed or more crazy but it's like crack. I simply must do it.
