Posts in one place where people can find them over the next few weeks. Posting in Activist Headquarters means people will be able to find the posts even after they've fallen to the bottom of GD.

The 2 times I've done it I have attributed it to the author at the top of the post.

I should clearly state that is what i'm doing in future posts? Or ask permission from the author?

The way I generally read DU, I never notice where an OP is posted.

I have actually tried in the past--to no avail--to get DU to be more action oriented, so if I'd realized you'd posted this to Activist Headquarters, I would have been with you all the way, despite the fact that this group is woefully ignored.

Again, I apologize. You did a good thing.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
