In reply to the discussion: Goodbye DU [View all]moniss
(4,242 posts)clear that it has happened. I noticed it got so bad in 2016 that I couldn't even stand to look at the comments to any post/article. I followed DU from the beginning. I posted in the past long ago and then stopped more because of changes in life than anything. But the more recent situation has gotten much worse. The more recent followers of DU would be amazed (perhaps not even care) about some of the marvelous discussions/interchange of information that used to take place here on various topics. Awhile back I began to comment again here or there. It would amaze people to read some of the threads from the past. Maybe some of those others who are "long-timers" here have saved some of those threads someplace. I don't save I just ride the wave of electrons and try to take part and give back all in the moment. From the days when the DU and Bartcop used to come "flying" into my Packard-Bell computer on my 56k modem while I hoped Windows 95 would not act up. Patience, manners, taking the time to listen to what others were saying seem to be almost as far away as my 56k modem.
