Who was the first to welcome you to DU?

[CatWoman]

and if you were the welcomer, who was the first DUer you welcomed to this site?

*CatWoman is too old to remember now* :D

[ozymandius]

1. GUN TOTIN' REPUB

I alterted on him and got him tombstoned.

[Richardo]

2. I know you gave me my first all-cap HAHAHAHAHAHA!

It was for a caption of Bush talking like Snoop Dog and adding 'boyeeee' to the end. This was before the the whole -izzle thing went mainstream.

:pals: Midori!

[CatWoman]

17. you came right out of the gate cracking me up!!!

:loveya:

[terrya]

3. As I recall, the first person to welcome me was arwalden

And I appreciated....and still od...his welcome. :-)

Sadly, I don't remember the first person I welcomed.

[mike_c]

4. I can't say for certain-- it's been a while...

...but it was almost certainly newyawker99.

[AllegroRondo]

5. No one welcomed me

I just slid in quietly through the back door. :)

[Lost4words]

12. Then I'll be the first, welcome to DU AllegroRondo!

just seemed like an opportunity! :hi: :toast:

[AllegroRondo]

13. Better late than never!

:toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

32. I'm so sorry!!! Welcome to DU, AllegroRondo!!!

We're so glad to have you with us!!!:toast: And grateful that you stuck around, despite our rude behavior!!!:spank:

[SoCalDem]

36. So YOU were the one who didn't close the door..Raised in a barn?

:) :hi:

[Lavender Brown]

6. the nice people in the New York group

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=169&topic_id=1#39

[Rhiannon12866]

29. OMG! I welcomed you, LOL!!! I remember that very well!

We had quite the chat!:hi:

[Lavender Brown]

33. Are you the DUer who was Snow White at the Great Escape?

I never forget a detail like that! :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

37. Not Snow White! I was Cinderella, LOL!

And you have a new sn and I've recently changed my avatar, so our conversation appears mighty strange, now. I welcomed you as Winter1979 and you said that Jimmy Carter was also your hero. But you have quite the memory and I remember our exchanges on that thread very well, too. I'm also the DUer who adopted my dog from Steve Caporizzo. He's still on Channel 10, every night. Great to see you again!:hi:

[Lost4words]

7. Believe it or not it was YOU CatWoman!

if my memory serves me well!

:hi:

Jim

[CatWoman]

19. LOLOL

:hi:

[xmas74]

8. JJ was the first!

And I'm sure she doesn't even remember.
The first I welcomed was Miss Honeychurch when she posted under another name.

[GOPisEvil]

9. I don't recall.

:shrug:

[ewagner]

10. VolcanoJen

I remember it well.

[China_cat]

11. Never got a welcome from anybody.

[Lost4words]

14. Welcome China_Cat!

Glad you are here! :party: :hi:

[CatWoman]

15. well, we will just have to fix that, don't we??

Welcome to DU, China_cat!!!

:hi:

[China_cat]

22. Well, thank you all

but it wasn't really necessary. If I sounded like I was whining about it, I'm sorry. I've been made to feel at home even without a formal welcome and that's much more important to me.

[AllegroRondo]

16. Then welcome to DU China_cat!

I got my first welcome on this very thread.
:toast:

[Dudley_DUright]

18. NSMA welcomed me first

but I have no idea who I welcomed first. Anyone?

[CatWoman]

20. was it Nell? Inspector Fenwick?

:D

[Jack Rabbit]

21. Will Pitt

I told him I was an admirer.

[Rhiannon12866]

23. I'm sure that you can guess! newyawker99, who else?!

She welcomed me on my very first post. I'd never been on a message board, before, and was a little nervous, but her kind welcome made me feel at home.:-)

[Kathleen04]

24. NewYawker99

She's a welcomin' machine! :loveya:

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

25. orangepeel68 & absynthe.

I can't remember if it was Jackpine Radical or Jack Rabbit (I always get them mixed up) who was the first to pm me saying he got my pretty obscure joke. I remember logging on to DU & seeing "you've got mail" & thinking, oh shit, I did a no-no already & am in trouble. Shit, shit, shit. When it was just a nice pm I was so relived. Then the other pm'd me to tell me how to do a sig line.

best

[Shell Beau]

26. I can't remember, but I will find out.

[GalleryGod]

27. Will Pitt, WAY back in the Day!

:patriot: He remains #1 in my book.:patriot:

[blindpig]

28. Octafish

As a Beefheart fan I was doubly gratified. Can't remember who I've welcomed.

[WilliamPitt]

30. Crewleader

[CatWoman]

34. Now that I think about it, she was the first to welcome ME

It was in a GD discussion thread.

[johnnie]

31. I don't remember

I have a hard time remembering yesterday let alone 2 1/2 years ago..lol.

[Moochy]

35. New Yawker 99

:hi: thank you :D :yourock:

[bridgit]

40. i think that's about right in my case as well...

newyawker99 is the hardest working newyawker99 in rock & roll :thumbsup:

[KittyWampus]

38. Lisa, And I Haven't Seen Her Post In Ages

I THINK she's the DU'er who makes actual chain mail armor.

[Lannes]

39. I believe it was Mutley_r_us

Damn nice of you Mutley!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

41. newyawker99.....

:loveya:

[DemExpat]

42. Will Pitt....followed by neuvocat....

funny how you don't forget the people who notice and welcome your presence.

:hi:

DemEx

[Kire]

43. Tandalayo_Schiesskopf

actually, he bragged like was some big superstar cuz he posted so much here, I wanted to be a superstar myself. I reached 700 posts the same day he reached 7,000 not too much later.

[OKNancy]

44. Crewleader

[Pacifist Patriot]

45. Not a clue either way.

But I'm terrible with screen names. It took me a month to internalize my sister's screen name for Pete's sake.

[crispini]

46. NewYawker99

in the Texas forum.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

47. Nobody

:(

[tavalon]

51. Well then

It's high time. Welcome to DU Medium Baby Jesus!

[greeneyedpookie]

48. That I cannot remember

I signed up before the change over and have rarely posted. I am mainly a lurker here. Just enjoy you all that make me giggle through out the day!!! :loveya:

GEP

:bounce:

[FourStarDemocrat]

49. NewYawker99....and there were others too.

Three cheers for the welcomers! :toast: :party: :hi:



.

[tavalon]

50. I have no idea

but I do remember I was welcomed many times and that I have welcomed many since. It's one of the many nice practices here at DU.

I do know why I came here. I happened to see an activist at a teach-in in Austin. I was so impressed with him that I bought his book and he mentioned DU in the back of it.

I blame Will Pitt for my DU addiction!

[khashka]

52. If my memory serves me well

I think the first person to talk to me was Dwickam. He didn't officially welcome me, but he made me feel welcome. So he'll always have a special place in my memories of DU.

Khash.

[u4ic]

53. His Royal Smoothness

MrScorpio :D

[evlbstrd]

54. I think it was CaliforniaPeggy.

She's a very nice lady.

[DinahMoeHum]

55. I think you welcomed me, CatWoman. . .back in March 2002. . .

I believe the exact words were "looks like you're gonna fit in just fine"


:evilgrin:

[sniffa]

56. kathyincambridge weLcomed me in person

i signed on to go to the meetup... after sitting there kinda uncomfortabLy, she came over broke the ice. :D

[Kathy in Cambridge]

57. my first welcome was from Catwoman

:D

[BrotherBuzz]

58. Mac (DemoTex)

[Mojambo]

59. I never take names

But it was some time around my 40th or 50th post.

[progmom]

60. no name no slogan

:hi:

And how odd is it that he could pass for the twin of a guy I dated when I was 18?!?!?

[yvr girl]

61. Newyawker99

I think she caught me on my second post.

[ornotna]

62. AnnabelLee

And she also sent me my first PM.
