Shout out to EarlG and elad - DU has been purring along during a really busy week

News breaking seemingly every minute, so many posts that the front page seems to flip every 10 minutes. This is THE place to be right now - everything we need to know is brought here immediately by the great people who post here.

Keep the machine well oiled, guys - I don't think things will slow down at all right through election day (the opposite, probably, judging from the last few days!).

Bravo - and thanks for keeping this site incredibly relevant and functional!!!

I've mentioned it before that I regularly troll a RWNJ chat site for the shear fun of throwing truth in the faces of hard right trump supporters. I can tell you I've had a blast cutting and pasting DU posts and news I got FIRST on DU on that right wing site so fast the past couple days I got their heads spinning. I've loved DU from the first time it started up. Big hugs and thank you's to everyone here at DU.

He helped talk me off the tinfoil hat ledge last night. And he’s made some excellent points today.

No glitches, no hiccups, just smooth sailing and easy posting!

Not easy when the airwaves are spilling over with all sorts of crazy news, all the time.

EarlG!

When I see a post of his on a thread, I say to myself, look at that, posting with us common folk. Makes me feel real good!
