(3,064 posts)DU was such a refuge from the nightmare Bush years. And now things are even worse.
But they will and are fixing to get better, much better. I love DU. Been lurking from the beginning when I first heard of the place from the righteous Okie blogger Bartcop. RIP, Terry Coppage, aka Bartcop.
And is Free Republic still around? And if they are has RimJob spent so much as a dime to upgrade his cesspool? It was primitive way back in the early '00's.
And this place has continued to evolve and grow. Some of the most eloquent and incisive writing I've ever read has come from people who post their brilliant insights on DU.
I've never vowed to stay away from DU if the infighting starts to get nasty. There are days I don't check DU but they are few and far between.
I have only one request to Earl G. How's about a heaping, steaming bag of Hate Mail on a regular basis. We can handle it. After all, " We are the smart."
And thank you so much Skinner for the incredible work that has gone into constructing this wonderful community.
You'll be around, even if not as an owner. And please continue to post. Your insights, how things are going. Hell, if you take your dog to the vet and are worried about your critter.
Dear sir, the organization you owned, helped found, and put so much work into is flourishing.
So many thanks.
Gary Stover, aka argyl.
