New guy / same as the old guy
I've been reading DU since early in 2002 but haven't gotten involved in posting and commenting and such. I'm hoping to change that now.
I'm somewhat on the left of the Democratic party. I live for music and for time in the woods. I am staunchly pro-dog.
Looking forward to joining the conversation here.
= new reply since forum marked as read
I'm pro-people.
No, no!
Welcome! 
You sound like my kind of person.
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.
