There are some superstars who consistently share articles or quotes that open up entirely new ways of thinking. But, nearly everyone who posts with any frequency broadens my narrow mind just by offering their opinions formed by their differing life experience.
Even some of those who regularly aggravate me are nonetheless sources of intelligent commentary on the things we all care about.
It was my good fortune to click on a link to DU on Bartcop's site 20 years ago.
I appreciate all of you.
Carry on.

However I give every DU poster the benefit of the doubt - we're all trying to add to the conversation. Nobody comes here to sling BS and lies, like I have found on other boards. We're all good people with good intentions, and that's what I love about DU.
That goes for you too, my friend.

I read the posts the chronicle her/his feeding of the feral cat(s) and kittens and realize there is a whole world out there that has nothing to do with politics, a world that will be there forever.
