If, anyone told me when I made my 1st post on 11/2/2003, I would still be posting and reading Democratic Underground 19 years later, I would have chuckled and said, "I don't think so".
But here I am reading DU; the 1st thing I do each morning with my cup of coffee.
I'm not as prolific, profound or inciteful as many DU'ers; you've kept me informed and educated on so many topics. We've also shared the sad times as well.
Thank you for your support, wisdom, chuckles and even a bit of criticism when needed.
Would have been fun if I hit 20,000 posts at 20 years, but I'll celebrate 19 years with 20,000 posts and will celebrate 20 years next November.
Thank you all, especially EarlG, Elad and Skinner, who made this experience possible.
