Thank you to my DU Family as it's closing in on 9 years and now, 25,000 posts

I’ve been educated and entertained by the best people in the world. I’ve been corrected and even changed my opinions on a couple of issues because of the facts presented. The animal videos are a treat and the photographs are, at times, mesmerizing and full of wonder. The artists have my admiration for their talent and imagination. Thanks for letting me rant about issues that are passionate to me and helping by keeping them updated. I’m so glad I found you on a cold night just passing the time and since then, it’s been time well spent. 💙

Before I joined in and have learned so much because of the high standards set for information and civility and I’m constantly impressed with the good people behind the scenes and how they keep us online. My friends think I’m smart but it’s all what I’ve learned here.. mostly all!

Many thanks to Earl G and Elad!

I have been told of Skinner, who came well before my arrival.

I have trouble doing it justice, when I describe DU.

So many smart people!

I jumped on a steep learning curve when I watched the approach of the Trumpocalypse.

Mr. Dahlia has always been among the well informed. I kept asking him - where did you learn that? Answer - DU. And then last Fall I finally joined the community.
