13. A lot of DUers have faded into the background

for various reasons.

But your post really resonates.

What we say to children is remembered and often turned over and over in their minds as they try to understand the world.

Parents and teachers always learn too late about the poison in words. It can be as debilitating as the lead in water.

Gonzo DUers like me are too underground for the Underground, but I always enjoy your posts.

<<<<<<<< Old School DU kudos from a person too busy to lurk but who does anyway and appreciates what you bring to the discussion
