I was here on DU.1. DU.2 started on July 6, 2003 and we moved to DU.3, where we are now, in December of 2011. And every new incarnation has been an improvement. Skinner and EarlG sure came up with a haven for us and there's also a third admin, Elad who handles the technical stuff.

I have observed a lot of milestones here on DU, the most harrowing one was the night of "shock and awe," the first bombing of Iraq which all of us hoped and prayed would never happen. DU is an incredible haven, when these things happen it's wonderful to know you're not alone.

And I'm very glad you decided to officially join us. This was the right time since we've never needed the support and knowledge provided by others as much as we do now. These are truly scary times.

Again, we're so glad to have you with us!
