If, anyone told me when I made my 1st post on 11/2/2003, I would still be posting and reading Democratic Underground 19 years later, I would have chuckled and said, "I don't think so".
But here I am reading DU; the 1st thing I do each morning with my cup of coffee.
I'm not as prolific, profound or inciteful as many DU'ers; you've kept me informed and educated on so many topics. We've also shared the sad times as well.
Thank you for your support, wisdom, chuckles and even a bit of criticism when needed.
Would have been fun if I hit 20,000 posts at 20 years, but I'll celebrate 19 years with 20,000 posts and will celebrate 20 years next November.
Thank you all, especially EarlG, Elad and Skinner, who made this experience possible.

(23,990 posts)At the rate you're going, you'll be at 20,000 long before I reached it. Keep on keeping on. While DU has a strong line up of seasoned posters, its long term viability is in our newer and/or younger members.

(23,990 posts)At 17,562 posts in only 4 years, you'll probably be at 50,000 or more posts, when you hit 20 years.
Good Luck!

(23,990 posts)You're one of the DUer's I spoke of who has contributed so much. Same amount of time, double the posts. Congrats on your 19 years!

(23,990 posts)Not sure I'll make it to 20,000 more not if it takes me another 19 years!

(11,591 posts)And thank you for your steadfastness, as well. I've also been here since 2003, but rarely commented in my first several years after joining. Best site of its type on the Net, bar none, and no doubt about it!

(23,990 posts)We'll both celebrate our 20th next year!
