I brain cramped at at 10, 20, & 30 thousand, but not this time.
I first posted in March or April of 2001.
So, compared to folks like my pal Malaise, I'm a piker! Took me 19 years 2 months to get to 40k!
But, especially given the last 3 months with stay @ home and the stresses inherent, I've been spending even more time here on DU.
So, for my forty thousandth post, I want to say THANK YOU to:
Skinner
Earl
Elad
And the whole gang here at DU!!
Made the 12 weeks much easier to endure.
Thanks folks!

I do enjoy reading & posting here!!

(1,142 posts)I've been here since 2002, and am barely over 1000 posts, but I feel like this board has helped me stay informed and know that there are people who are passionate about values that I share are working to shine light on darkness.
I just wish that more people would recognize the importance of voting and taking on the responsibilities that come with citizenship, here it's like speaking to the choir, but knowing how low voter turnouts are compared to the actual amount of eligible voters, is depressing

(47,625 posts)I've been here since 2004 and a lurker before that. I just broke 30,000 recently and I think a lot of that was due to Trump.

PatSeg
(47,625 posts)I took lots of breaks from DU during the Obama years. Then along came Trump and I got sucked back in, which isn't a bad thing. I think we all come here to maintain some sanity.
Hard to believe it has been over sixteen years for me!

I think we both started here at roughly the same time, early in bush/cheney. LOVE DU. Needed it then. Still need it now.

At my posting rate, I will need another 22 years and 97 days to reach 40k
Yes in fact I did caculate it - I broke down my average posts per day for the 5 years I've been here and projected forward.
Nerd life, it ain't no good life - but it's my life.
