It's taken me nearly ten years to reach 2000 posts.

This is what I say today:

While I feel way too little time is devoted to our environmental emergency, I find most discussions here on DU informative and thought provoking.

Thanks to all Dems here for caring, and to my fellow progressives—Keep pushing left.

You and I appear to be working at the same rate!

When I saw your post, I wondered how many I had made and saw I was at 2996. I managed to squeeze out a couple extra ones today to make this one 3k.

And 80% of the time I erase what I did write.
So you are either more confident in what your talking about or braver than me.

Congrats.

Now 8 years later I'm up to 62,000. That also included one year of lockdown when posting was my major recreation.

Congratulations on your restraint!!

I’ve been active since retirement in marine-litter removal. That helps me stay off line.

I'm a low-flow poster too. 18 years and just over 300 posts. At age 78...I'll never come close to 2k.

And I couldn't agree more, the environment needs to be a priority. If you haven't checked out the E&E Group here on DU, it's a pretty active and informative group!
