old-timer, but I welcome hearing from new people. It's kind of a breath of fresh air.:-)

I always make a point of welcoming new people, since newyawker99 welcomed me on my very first post and I remember how great that made me feel. I felt as if I really did belong here. I have received nothing but support from the DU veterans, most of the time (knock on wood!), and am sorry that you have experienced otherwise.:-(

A small number of posts is not indicative of how much anyone knows about politics. My friend, who I persuaded to register, has just a little over 100 posts, but knows more about politics than I ever will. She's out working for the Democratic Party, however, and doesn't get much time on DU. So you never really know about anyone.:shrug:

For what it's worth, I sincerely welcome you to DU. I am glad that you are among us and hope that you stick around and give us a second chance. The Democratic Party has a very big tent and DU should reflect that. As the election draws nearer, DU will become an even more exciting place and I would hate for you to miss it. Also, I will be looking for the next thread that you start!:hi:
