as well. Many of the events you note, I remember well. I miss those early days and the thrill/heartbreak of discovery. I remember the 9/11 Time line book project. The person organizing the information frequently came here asking for assistance and some of us were happy to help. I bought the book. It is an amazing collection of facts and information The Terror Timeline: Year by Year, Day by Day, Minute by Minute: A Comprehensive Chronicle of the Road to 9/11--and America's Response by Paul Thompson (Paperback - Sept 7, 2004).

I traveled to San Francisco to attend a demonstration (and visit old friends). I discovered a group of DUers in front of me at the demonstration. Spent a wonderful after-protest afternoon with them before returning to my friends home. Met a bunch of DUers in DC at the electoral college vote in '05. Cheered when Barbara Boxer added her Senator's voice to the objection from congress. I had never been to DC before. Suggestions from DUers, on what to see, enhanced my stay.

I'm sorry to see you go, but I do understand. Much has been lost. It is starting to feel a little frayed and worn but I still come here first for LBN before taking off for other news sites. I wish you well on your journey. It was good to meet you here. Take care.
