1. Hello Hal,

Welcome to DU! Glad to read that we have another loyal Democrat joining the fold. I suggest clicking on the Latest Threads tab and set the Show drop-down menu to show "All--default" to see all of the threads posted. I also recommend clikcing on the Forums & Groups tab at top to see the various groups and subscribe to the ones that interest you.

Please note that some people will be skeptical of you since you have few posts, but as long as you are cordial and respectful you should find a way to fit in. I was in the same position as you were a little over four years and 22,000 posts ago. I am also serving as a forum host for the main forums so if you have any questions please contact me. I believe that you will need to have either 30 or 50 posts before you can send a DU Mail (also known as a PM).

I hope you enjoy the place--it didn't take long to fascinate me.

the three administrators of DU are Skinner, EarlG and Elad. While they are busy right now due to the installation of an upgraded server they are the best!

I suggest you leave a little less detail about who you are... There are those who can and will, if the mood so takes them, figure out who you are and where you are from that bit of info.
