Returning after 10 year absence
I was first here on DU when Dean was running. I was referred by a fellow Deaniac, but drifted away after "the scream" and the fallout that followed. Three or four years ago I drifted back here and have been reading posts every morning, as a visitor, lurking in read-only mode, not as a card carrying member. I couldn't recall what my old username and password was (check the database for somebody who stopped posting in 2004. Maybe that's me 
)
I don't imagine I will post a whole lot. I'm more interested in reading other people's posts than I am is seeking validation for my own opinions. (I already know I'm right, I don't need somebody else to verify that! 
) That said, it's nice to have the option to post a reply if the spirit moves me.
= new reply since forum marked as read
I hope you'll enjoy DU3. There are many new groups and forums. The complete list is on a tab at the top of every page.
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.
