74. When I signed up on DU I expected to make a dozen or two posts at the most

Jan 2013

So I spent no time at all trying to come up with a clever name, I was running on financial fumes at the time and I had just come back from a bicycle ride on a road where I was almost literally sucking fumes from the tail pipes of big trucks. It was the first thing that popped into my head and I just typed it out.

What I was doing in the post you replied to was stating a fact that I have observed, not trying to imply any particular poster is a troll. It's a fairly common thing for conservatives who wish to troll DU to choose something like LibDemForevah3000.

For the most part DUers base their opinion of you on what you write but n00bs really have to watch their step because there are a few land mines around DU that will surprise the unwary and we have had an absolute avalanche of right wing trolls here in the last few months particularly so a lot of old timers are on high alert.

Anyhow, welcome to DU!
