Whoa, that was bizarre
I write a little post, hoping to get a few recs and make a few points about health care in Canada.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8540107

Much to my astonishment, the thread rises to the top of the Greatest and I'm being overloaded responding to posts.

Not only that, my post seems to have gone viral, with a diary on Daily Kos leading the way. It's picked up by bloggers and made into email spam.

My wife tells me "Well, that's it, your 15 minutes of fame"

And to think, I wasted it on a DU post!

8. If it plays any role in getting real reform passed,
it sure as heck isn't a waste.

Thanks for your excellent thoughts.

26. Thanks, Mythsaje
It was done more out of frustration than anything.

I just hope it made it a small difference.
