These boards are such a pain...
Has anyone ever heard of too many opinions?

It seems to me that to keep track of ones own posts, they would need 8 eyes on 4 computer monitors, and 4 pairs of hands on 4 keyboards. Geez, I think some of those senior posters have to be space aliens.

I know becoming a donor helps a bit with some of the extra features. What is the minimum contribution needed to get the nifty star next to my name (I would gladly pay $5 for those awsome features)?

As for the boards, is there a more relaxed board within DU? Because Politics and the Latest Breaking News are much too hectic for my taste. Very fun to lurk, but the posts get lost in the shuffle.

Thanks for the help :)

3. There are boards where everybody shares the same opinion, you know.

4. Just hit "My Posts"
and yes, you can give $5 and get a star. Just mark "other" and put how much you want to give.

You might find, though, that this place is worth way more than that. Just sayin'.

6. You can go to my posts up on the top of forums pages
and click on that and it shows your posts and the threads you posted to for the last 48 hours.

When I do it I click on 'refresh' to make sure its up- to -date.

If you go down the list of forums, you can also find non-political forums and group forums that may appeal to you.
