How long were you on DU before you got your groove?

I would say it was 5 or 6 months for me at least.

7. I don't think I've gotten my groove yet

8. I had a different user name for over a year and lurked but hardly posted

it took a while. I spent a lot of time in GD at first. You haven't lived through a flamewar until you lived through one of Carlos' flamewars.

9. About two days

I wrote a couple of tirades against Greens in the early days, then wrote a long rant in one thread about how I was tired of fighting other liberals who were voting their conscience, and would from then on fight only conservatives. WillPitt pulled my post out and started a whole 'nother thread using my post.

Thanks, Will. Great boost of confidence.

11. That's cool

I remember my first hundred, two hundred or so posts were spent either baiting FReepers whenever I would catch them on here or attacking Greens/Nader voters. (It being not too long after the 2000 election and its aftermath, I still wasn't nearly over my frustration on that issue.)

That was in my wild youth on DU. Now I mostly post in the Lounge, but that's mainly cause posting in GD takes too much brainpower!

12. What is this groove of which you speak?

I have none. :-(

13. About a year.

Under my old username, I used to primarily just read GD and LBN for months before I even posted. Then I found the Lounge almost 2 years ago. I posted bits and pieces, but then I got a bit close with a more active (well he was more so then, but not-so-much these days), funny DUer and it made me feel more comfortable here.
