Reply #71: A long strange trip indeed.

I came here on Jan 20 2001 when I saw a young man among the protesters holding a sigh saying democraticunderground.com and went to my computer and looked it up.
I must have been early because I remember the "Nice F..... site there is no one here" post.
It was brilliant of skinner to use the signs and banner (although I did not see the banner) to get his site out there
But what was more brilliant was the name Democratic UNDERGROUND because to us older people it invoked the idea of radicalism of the 60s with the Weather Underground, and at that point in history I was feeling pretty radical myself and I guess there were many more like me that felt that way.

I know I have read probably hundreds of your posts Cat Woman and the ones that were just plain fun like the cat posts in the lounge.
so many good memories...
