For my 10,000th post.

On this milestone I thought I should say something profound or something but all that comes to mind is:





Joined in Nov.of 2004 trying to find some sense of the Kerry loss. I hope we're not going to be there again.

Someone with 154,000+ posts taking time to congratulate someone with 144,000 fewer posts!
Great support for the community, for sure! (while still building the "post count" )
Way to go, Underpants!
And congrats to you, too, Lib in Texas. The idea of making a milestone post meaningful is impressive - and, just like Underpants, reflective of the greatness of the DU community!

I was bitter over the Gore loss, but I just couldn't understand how the American people could re-elect a war criminal to be the POTUS. Then 2016............

Any name with liberal in it is, by default, one of my favorites.



I may change my name now - add liberal to it.

Thank you liberal!

I remember only one time admins had a "change your screen name" window. I went from Lib to Liberal.

I thought it would be easy to do. It does appear to be. Oh well, I am a liberal and that is more important than a name.

And I remember that loss well, and here we thought at the time that this was as bad as it could get!

Congratulations on 10,000 posts and here's to 10,000 more! Great message!

But in these dark times - which we couldn't have anticipated even when George W was in office - at least we have DU and each other for encouragement and reassurance. DU is a special gift.
