With the holidays, I totally blew by my 10 years date that happened a couple weeks ago - Dec 23, 2004.
I had planned on writing a long op about all of the changes and permutations of DU over the years, but those that have been here that long are aware of how this place has changed.
In the dark days of Dean's campaign's demise, Air America and DU were the two shining lights that made me think things could turn around. Sadly, I am still waiting 10 years later.
I hope to be here to see the pendulum swing left again.
Thank you Skinner.

So many of us have grown up and older on DU. And the DU admins - once free-wheeling whippersnappers, have gone on to get hitched and have little Democrats (of the two and four-legged furry variety).
Can't believe it's been that long!
Olde Tymer DUer hugs!

(3,172 posts)December 26. I remember it like yesterday. I was sitting on my living room floor with my 14 year old son who handed me his cell phone to talk to this guy he was working with on election fraud in Michigan. Andy Stephenson said to me, "...you're his mom? Are you on DU? Get your ass over there now!"
And so I did....
(And I miss my friend Andy still.)
