Thank you Democratic Underground.

[mmonk]

Thank you for the reservoir of information. Thank you for the crunch of ideas. Thank you DU Corps for your activism. Thank you for your Latest Breaking News which really is news. Thank you for all the great writing you present. Thank you for helping with election year politics and precinct organizing. Thank you for the give and take of real debate. Thanks for all the forums and groups that help keep the democratic ideals alive. Thank you for having me.

What inspired this you might ask? It was the post of byronius. Here it is if you missed it http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1678283 .

For me, I came here in 2003 a frustrated person and worried person. I came here to stress a love of reason, freedom as embodied in constitutional principles and equal protection under the law, but learned far more than I have given. My posts have grown somewhat stale and my arguments repetitious, my cause fleeting. I'll keep pressing forth, but reduce original posts to be judicious except to see what people think of things I'm working on and ask for help and research. I'll also be kicking Sibel posts as I haven't given up there yet and Stephanie Miller posts because her humor keeps me sane.



Thank you DU, Skinner, Elad, EarlG, all the mods and all of you. And of course byronius for your post today. DU is a special place. Truely an oasis in the desert we are all walking in.
