I remember a day when there were only 12,000 on DU.... what a long |

Edited on Wed Feb-16-05 01:19 PM by anarchy1999
way we've come in such a short amount of time. Many have come and gone, but we are still a very viable community, IMHO.
Cheers, Salud to DU!
Now, step up to the plate and help to make DU be all it can be and more. Make a DONATION! On behalf of DU and your state, make the Dems and all the politicos and the lobbyists and the corporatists, PAY ATTENTION!
CHANGE WILL ONLY COME FROM THE BOTTOM UP!
I worked for a very old man once who was a florist in a small town.
Every day he said to me:
"There is nothing more constant than change than resistance to it".
How appropriate his words are to me now.
PS/We lurked for many months before we ever became registered members, able to post and comment.

1. New to posting, long time DU reader... |
|
I fully intend to get the little yellow star this week!
Scraping together my meager pennies as I post.
Here I want to proclaim, DU is one of the best things I've enjoyed in a long time!
It's my responsibility to keep the lights on!
Thanks everyone!
Onward and Upward!
:)

7. We were lurkers all through 2001, I think we first logged in the month |
|
of August or September of that year. I could be wrong.
It was wwwbartcop.com that tuned us in.

20. Okay, just for fun "We'll:" go for "Royal", Not! |
|
I enjoy the fun, though, if it was in fun.

But, this long time lurker finally got fed up in November.
Not only with the usual enemies... I had doubts about the Dem leadership at that point.
Thought it might be time to involve myself while I still could.

I've been viewing DU since sometime in 2001. I saw a link to it somewhere if I remember correctly. It was among the explosion of websites after the 2000 election fiasco.
I signed up to post after the latest election fiasco.

3. I was around before 20,000 members |
|
it was a sad time
it was a glad time
it was the times when we were all looking at Bush and what he knew about 911 before 911
and I still don't trust the bum

It has been a long four years, and four more to go. God help us all, or whatever higher power, spirit you might believe in.

14. So, the point to this thread is DONATE TO DU NOW! If only for |
|
a pittance. $10.00 we must have to give and just think if we all only gave just $10.00. What a difference it could make.

15. I guess you could say that in this one case |
|
Shrub actually WAS a uniter, because I, for one, would never have found this haven if that asshole wasn't in office. I was as apolitical as one could possibly be prior to bushit.
