Welcome to DU all you Newbies!

I've not seen so many new, active posters since last year's election cycle.

Another sign that Plamegate is BIG!

8. Have hope, mtowngman.

We're all hanging in here together. And the weather really IS quite nice.

Raise a :toast: in hope for the future. I'm sure hoping that blotch up there is the light at the end of the tunnel, but it could just be my effing contacts acting up again...

Again, welcome to DU, and stick around after this all develops. You'll see; we're a lot of fun.

"Oh, I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing...
THAT FITZMAS IS COMING SOON TO ME!!!"

27. Heh

guess that includes me because even though I have a low post number I am really an old member. I've been here at least a couple years just didn't post much, does that make me one of the old fart Du'ers(???) :shrug: :evilgrin: :rofl:

I lurked for a really long time before I even had a member name. I got on the stick after the election and haven't looked back since.

Edited on Wed Oct-26-05 09:11 PM by applegrove

pretty uncomfortable after a bit. Just as newspeople with big huge smilie faces instead of (a grain of salt) makes you want to run. CNN is doing good these days. So are a few other networks I hear.

All is not lost.

Welcome.

thanks to all for an awesome site! It's put together extremely well, moderated very well, and you all make a newbie feel comfortable. This is the first place I check in the a.m. for any news (actually every 10 minutes each day!). It's also the place I spend so much time laughing hysterically at some of your posts!

Thank You!

41. I dunno, I posted one earlier in this GD forum

saying that I was upset because I had to go teach a 3-hour class and that the suspense was killing me. It appeared in the forum, and several people responded.

Maybe I just slipped through the cracks?

I've also posted threads in the Lounge.

I have not been everywhere on the web,but I have to say this is the best discussion and news gathering forum I have been to. Many here have a wonderful sense of humor(nothing heals a wounded spirit like humor). I still mostly lurk.Definitely addicted to DU.
