Hard to believe that its been 8 years since I found DU 9/3/2004 - although its also hard to remember what it was like before I had DU to check the latest news or the truth behind whatever the current mainstream poutrage happens to be.
Obviously, I read much more than I post so let me just say that I am grateful that DU is here (Big shout out to Skinner, Elad and the other admins!), grateful to all who take the time to post links to stories/videos of the day, all who post their well-thought out ideas, everyone whos ever posted in the Cooking & Baking forum (seriously, the best forum on the internet!), to all lounge lizards past & present (I promise not to ask about fried chicken!), to every one of us who makes DU a vibrant, living community of ideas whether we post 1000 times a month or whether it takes us a little longer.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
Edited to correct math error - originally said "10" years....

(1,089 posts)I got this stuck in my head the other day and never thought about it twice... Guess I'll edit the post - thanks for pointing out my miscalculation!

And yes! Thank you everyone -- even the little people.

(12,541 posts)since 2004 also, but have only, a little over 8000 post. I'm on about 3hrs a day. Can't imagine how much time I would spend on du if I had ninety thousand plus post.

(865 posts)Been here about that long myself. I still haven't made a grand. I find that smart DUers have written essentially a better version of what I might add before my fat fingers could hit a key.
