I thought it would be easier for people to post their thanks in one thread. I'll go first: I'd like to thank the kind people who sent me hearts. It brightened my day. Thank you very much!

But the boards do get swamped with zillions of thank you posts.

Decided that EarlG and Elad should get some, too. Elad was a bit hard to find, but I got there. Located Skinner by his farewell thread.

Thanks again!!!

(5,622 posts)For the past four years! I joined DU originally waaaaaaay back in the dark ages of 2005-ish after lurking for a bit. I felt like my heart had been torn out on Election Day 2016 when we were hacked. Ugh! So awful! I knew the night was going to go badly
Being able to visit DU as our numbers in Georgia and Arizona and Michigan and PA went for Biden in 2020 was wonderful. Thank you so much my friends. The last four years have been brutal! Here comes the sun, I hope...

(16,802 posts)I would not have been surprised by two since I have 2 friends here. I am startled at 5. Never expected that an old curmudgeon like yours truly could get 5!
