3. depending on how much you let the others know about yourself
and in which group you are. People probably know more about each other here in the Lounge than in GD or LBN

5. There are so many things the average DUer has no idea about when
it comes to me. Although there is one DUer who knows me almost better than I know myself. :)

6. Yes -
There is an old saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt."

Sounds cynical, but for the most part, true. Does anybody remember who said this, I don't.

9. Exactly! 85 posts, for example...
...and I hate you already!

Actually, welcome to DU. Or, if you've been around a while, hope you post more often. :hi:

23. Thanks Crankie...
That's the nicest "Welcome" I have received at DU. I haven't been around very long. When I found DU a couple of months ago, I thought I had found "heaven" ... it is a "haven" for one good ole East Texas Democrat. Thanks again.

10. In my experience in the past few weeks...
it's been a very, very positive thing getting to know a DUer really well. :D But then again, I DID pick one of the best. hehe

12. You only "think" you did pick the very best. Perhaps there is another DUer
who just doesn't post of their greatness...;) :evilgrin:

14. Yes
I personally find some of the questions on DU personal, and weirdo still, people answer.

I remember the "post your real name!" thread, and still shudder.

17. If you mean the after the election,"my name is _____ and I'm not
scared, I think that was one of the most powerful and moving threads ever written and participated in on DU. It's what keeps me coming back. Knowing we've got each other's backs.

20. I was honored to be a very small part of that thread.
I posted in it. It was just the thing we needed after the election.
