A Toast to Skinner
Without him, there would have been NO FIGHT whatsoever, at least not as massive as the one we mounted.

Everyone here, during level 6, obviously recognizes your efforts, as only doners are allowed due to the high traffic.

To Skinner!

22. To Skinner and Elad and EarlG
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 05:22 PM by mcscajun
To all the efforts it took to keep this place Up and running (Level Six??? Who'da thunk it possible?) during a very challenging day.

Enjoyed my "trip" through the spam filter, too. :) It gave me an appreciation of how much I rely on DU and DUers.

:toast: :patriot: :applause:

53. And to think some DU'ers/Progressives think he's with the DLC
From: http://www.progressiveindependent.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=164&topic_id=1610#4

"In the early days of DU, Skinner included his ties to the DLC organization in his bio. He removed that info when people began to realize Skinner was promoting DLC goals at DU, and using DU to promote DLC goals.

Skinner did contract web design work for the DLC. Skinner was on the DLC payroll."
