I can't believe I'm hitting the 1000 mark. I really enjoy reading everything here at DU. I'm proud to be a part of this board. This is one of the places I go for my mental health. I've actually met some people through DU. DU has been criticized for some things. I know that the free exchange of ideas is a very American practice. With the media the way it has become we can't do without things like DU. Thanks all.

1. You're welcome!

Your quote is so appropriate in these times. Mark Twain has always been one of my favorite authors. Here are two of his quotes that seem appropriate in our time:

It is a free press...There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.

- License of the Press speech


...the liberty of the Press is called the Palladium of Freedom, which means, in these days, the liberty of being deceived, swindled, and humbugged by the Press and paying hugely for the deception.

- "From Author's Sketch Book, Nov. 1870," reprinted in The Twainian, May 1940

2. congratulations!

how long did it take you.

It seems like I have been at it for a long time. I just checked and found out that I've been at it since 2002. Maybe I can get this task done before Memorial Day.

Anyway, great job.

3. How long?

Not sure. I know it was before the primaries. I don't post much and usually when I do it is a reply to something or a question. If I need info to rebuke a con this is the place.
