3. So Agree.. the Hunters and

gatherers on DU are Amazing!

Keeping us Informed.. my only sources of NEWS since 2002 after I dropped cable & all mainstream in November of that year.

Thank You, too, Stuart

[underpants]

[Solly Mack]

6. They all make my day better.

[FakeNoose]

7. I appreciate DUers so much

I guess that's why I keep coming back. All the witty, thought-provoking posts, funny comments, inspiring stories. Fresh and funny jokes nearly every day.

We share our happiness with each other, and our sad days too. It's all good.

Thank you all!

[Dave in VA]

8. Amen!

This is the place to get your information.

[SheltieLover]

9. Ty, DU!

[SergeStorms]

10. We have quite the stable....

of prolific posters, and very many "part-time" posters, and for each and every one, I am eternally grateful.

It is, by far, the best place for "non-fake news" I've ever found.

My hat is off to each and every person on DU.

[Silver Gaia]

11. Yes. Thank you all!

DU is my first and last stop of the day because I know that whatever I need to know or want to know or need to relax with will be found HERE. You all are the BEST!!!

[Pepsidog]

[secondwind]

15. AMEN!!!!! DU rocks!!

[Tree Lady]

16. I agree why I like this place

And because it feels like a big family of sorts.

[wryter2000]

17. I don't know what I'd do without DU

I get all my news sources here. I'd never read a newspaper outside the country if I weren't here. Not because I wouldn't want to, but I wouldn't have the time to seek out articles. And I totally depend on the Streaming Videos, Netflix, etc. group to get ideas what to watch. The recommendations are always excellent. And if you cook or bake, you must have the Cooking and Baking group. Whenever I have a computer hardware or software problem someone in the computer help group saves me. I only recently discovered the Crafts group.

[bluboid]

18. wow! Thank you, Stuart...

great leadership makes this site the best ever.

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. Hmm. Couldn't you be a bit more enthusiatic?

JK JK.

Thanks for stating what we all feel, whether we think about it or not.

DU rocks!

Cheers to the admins, the news hunters, the informed, the opinionated, the seldom posters, the jerks and yes, even the sad little trolls under the bridge. Well, maybe not them.

thanks, Stuart G for the reminder!

[Karadeniz]

20. YES !!! Of course, now we can barely look at TV news because we've already read the real facts

behind their gloss !!!

[wendyb-NC]

21. Than you, DU

I totally agree, Stuart G, thank you for posting this and the many other informative and interesting articles and other types of media. DU keeps me sane.

Bless, every DU, who is doing the hard work of searching, verifying and posting. I can't thank you enough.

[XacerbatedDem]

22. And Thank You DU for teaching me so much about myself, too.

By helping me realize I’m not the only one who’s thinking the same thoughts and ideas I’ve read in your pages. Makes me feel like I’m not so alone. TYSM

[sprinkleeninow]

23. Pour vous..

[BobTheSubgenius]

Even those that do so much searching and posting of great content still benefit from the research of others.

This site is spectacular.

[BobTheSubgenius]

45. I was badly remiss in my previous post.

WELCOME to DU! I found this lifeline in 2003, when I so FOOLISHLY thought that GWB was the worst President there could possibly be.

[NJCher]

50. It's amazing, isn't it?

I so FOOLISHLY thought that GWB was the worst President there could possibly be.

Republicons can always find a new low to sink to.

49. Contributions

Their contributions are the thing that keeps me logging on three and four times a day. It's a gift to us and given unselfishly. We can't thank them enough or too often.

[NJCher]

52. people have a "beat"

I hesitate to post this because I know I'll have left out someone who does a super fantastic job. Help me out here and add who I may have forgotten:

First-hand reporting, like the recent post DFW wrote about his Ukrainian friend who told about the failure of Russian warplanes to eject the pilots. Other posters told of first-hand experience with Covid.

Rhiannon for posting media clips from Colbert and other comedians, plus important segments from shows that we might have missed.

SCE, catbyte, and tblue provide us with cat and other animal humor.

Halloween scary links and other light stuff from Mr. Scorpio in The Lounge.

In gardening, NewHendoLib, our resident author and celebrity grower.

TexasTowelie brings us state news.

Irisblue starts our morning breakfast thread.

elleng and California Peggy help us keep track of the moon phases with their photography.

hatrack brings us environmental stories.

Tweet of the Day/Week/Late Night by randysf, applegrove, and others.

judym for anthropology and science articles. nnadir for science journal articles.

bobnicewander keeps us apprised on astrological events

Add to the list if you can!
