Reply #95: I followed a link from a low-carb message board.

The board owners were not going to allow anymore political postings, and another member there posted a link to DU. Since I liked what I'd read of her postings, I followed her here, and mostly read the home page and a few general discussion posts.

That was in early 2001, and I didn't realize this place had only been active for a few months at that time until recently! :dunce:

Anyway, I was popping in on a daily basis, and on 9-11 I came here looking for information--I remember I could barely see the board through my tears--and was hooked from there.

I finally joined in Oct '04, and I think my first post was on election day.
