I am sorry about last night: I'm an ugly duckling, not a swan

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3963136&mesg_id=3963136

I needed some talking to by Marta to get my act together. I'm not going to leave after all. I was hurt by something that happened. I'm only going to say it was a misunderstanding. Then this morning while trying make my PC load faster, I trashed it. I'm in the process of giving up netscape since there is no longer any support for it. This old dog er duckling is having to learn new tricks, and that is something I don't like to do. I've spent the rest of the day putting things back together. I just got my mail etc. working. While I won't be as regular on the DU until after Feb. 9th, you can be sure I will be on my favorite stop, the DU. This is my main hobby. I love you all.

Regards,

OS

1. You're one of the last DUers who needs to apologize for anything.

2. I don't know what happened last night, but I'm glad you're here.
I count on your posts to keep me informed about labor issues.

3. Glad to see you're not leaving.
:hug:

Two words: Mozilla Firefox
Two more words: Mozilla Thunderbird.

I will look forward to your return to posting regularly next month. :hi:

6. You know, Steve...
I am on the West Coast, and I look forward to every afternoon when you start slamming all of that goodness-knows-how-you-get-it Labor News and Outrage on DU.

I, for one, will be looking forward to your return.

Tom

7. Glad you're staying, OS. I love reading your stuff.
This longtime Netscaper may need to take the leap to Firefox soon too. I feel your pain.

:toast:

NGU.

8. Don't know what happened either,
but it would be too sad to have you leave DU. We all count on you to keep us posted on labor issues. You do important work, Steve. I agree with another poster about Mozilla. I use Firefox and find it much better and more secure than MS IE.

10. ...
You just can't leave. Period. Who else would provide us with the labor/union news? Do what you need to do but please know you are appreciated by more people than those who usually post on your threads... :hug:

This place has been nuts the last 6 months. It will even itself out and the 'transients' will be long gone once our nominee is in place - probably next fall. :)

15. Download Firefox NOW.
Its FREE.
It sets itself up...no hassel.
GREAT Browser.

http://www.mozilla-browser.com/firefox-download.htm

Thunderbird is also a wonderful E-Mail program, but it does take a little more savvy to set up.

Ever since I downloaded Firefox and got rid of Norton my computer has been a dream compared to what it was before. Not to mention getting rid of Microsoft's browser!
