Sorry for being sceptical, but after searching myself and reading yr posts since you reappeared at DU a few days ago, all I can see you doing is whining about how terrible DU is and saying some pretty nasty things about other DUers. So I'm very sceptical of yr claim in this thread and would like to see the link to the thread so I can see for myself what happened...
