At the end of this cursed year, I have to thank DU, all the members and admins.

During the troubles and sorrows and outrages, DU was here, a place to go and interact
with sane and smart people. I am sure that this place and you people helped me maintain.
Sincere thanks to all.

And just on a personal note, I wish I could thank every DU'er for the outpouring of sympathy when I lost my little 17 year old doggie. There are no words.

Actually, if we didn't have us, we would have started acting like them. INSANE.

Luckily, we do have us!

Truly needed it. Usually checked in upon waking. And always in the evening. It acted like a sanity reset button.

Daily anchor to reality for most of this year, hell, the last four years. We seem to have made it to this point, I anticipate that we will make it to the next administration with a big sigh of relief before we have to get to work on the next step.
