A shout out to EarlG and Elad

Good job on keeping DU up and running through all of this! It's been hard and discouraging and scary, with a lot of feelings from 2016 coming back. Having DU to come to most of the night and this morning is SO much better than watching talking heads on the TV. I'm tired and not expressing it very eloquently, but just ...

Thank you, guys!

To the DU gods:THANK YOU! You kept us safe through day and night as we walked a treacherous path. Thank you for the sanctuary. And to all of DU, thank you for the fellowship. It would have been a dark and lonely night without you. We have a way yet to go, but I firmly believe at this point that we will be victorious!

to keep DU going during this arduous election time. I don't know what I would do without my kindred people here. Probably climb the walls. That might amuse my cats. Anyway, many thanks.

But we sure don’t seem to have the traffic here we used to.

I remember when they closed down to only star members and smilies couldn’t be used...and the front page moved so fast I couldn’t keep up.

It’s not like that here anymore.

For all the near-sanity grounding DU in general has provided myself and undoubtedly, sooooo many.
From the early "top 10" lists that got me hooked, to now the dead serious consequences of nonsense...
