Mr. Scorpio

If you've been wondering why I haven't been posting that much lately... [View all]

It’s because I’ve been of mind that it’s about time for me to move on.

I just feel that my time online and in real life has started to shift to other places that require more of it than it does on DU. I also felt that you all deserved to hear it formally. I want all of us to part as long, dear friends.

Hence, this will be my last post.

Before I go, I want to thank everybody, both here today and DUers long gone for all the great times we’ve had together. It’s been wonderful over the years.

As I leave you, I only have one piece of important advice to give all of you for each of our own long journeys through life... And that is, you should NEVER trust everything you read whenever someone writes it on April the first. Scroll down...











































































I ain’t going anywhere.
