Judi Lynn

I'm not a "joiner". Although I visited the DU on a nearly daily basis (oftentimes numerous visits a day) since The Idiot Son Bush's first term, I never really had a a desire to add to a discussion. Judy Lynn finally made me ashamed of myself enough to become a member. Throughout these last 4 or 5 torturous years there regularly appeared a posting that reminded me there were wondrously interesting discoveries that were being made. These discoveries ranged from some unique animal behavior, to new information concerning an ancient civilization, or information from all the way at the edge of the universe. Judy Lynn's posts made me remember that it was possible to shut off the mental drain and to replenish the positivity the emotion leech constantly sucked from me. Her posts lifted me up and so I needed to join to extend my heartfelt appreciation for helping me remember that the piss-ant of a man and the fools that enabled or followed him weren't interesting and certainly didn't deserve so much attention from me. Judy Lynn a big thank you. You made a difference. Please don't stop.

And several other DUers....not listing everyone in case I forget anyone. But if I ever miss a hatrack or babylonsister appreciation thread, let me K&R for them as well here. Not to mention EarlG who cannot have a fun job...
As an environmentalist, hatrack's gloomy perseverance inspires me. He is an inspiration to every environmentalist who wants to give up often and focus on less uphill battles.
