On the occasion of my 100,000th post I'd just like to thank DU
I've sure learned a lot here in 16 years - from the articles I've read, the posts I've made and from DUers with a lot more knowledge than I'll ever have. I'd always voted, mostly for Democrats, but it was 9/11 that woke me up. I had a dentist appointment that day and I knew that something had happened, but it wasn't until I was sitting in the dentist's chair, watching the TV that my dentist had turned to CNN, and seeing footage of that second plane hitting the South Tower over and over and over that I learned that this country was under attack.
I walked out into the warm September sun scared witless - and that's when I realized that I needed to learn a lot more about what was really going on in this country and the world. So I started reading and paying a lot more attention to the news and in early 2003 a friend introduced me to DU.
I was on DU the night of "shock and awe." It was a DUer who posted that something was happening soon - despite Nelson Mandela's powerful speech that I was sure would convince the Bush* administration to back off. I remembered a post by a DUer - a photo of of a little Iraqi boy pushing a tiny boat with a candle out into the water as part of a peace ceremony - and I thought of that child and wondered if he was scared that night - or even if he was still alive.
And I was here for the election of 2004 when I was sure that the election was a sure thing after the debacle of Iraq and, along with others here, I was grateful for the two forums provided by the admins for us. GD and GDP had been turned into a place for us to share our reactions. One was for anger and venting and the other was for help and sympathy. I mostly posted in the latter.
I was here on July 6, 2003 for the beginning of DU.2 and in December 2011 when we moved to DU.3. I've learned so much here, made friends here and tried to give a little back as a mod, then as a host and on MIRT. That's why I have so many posts. I've stepped up and worked on 3 congressional campaigns here in NY-20 - which changed here to NY-21 in 2015. And I couldn't have done that without all that I've learned here on DU. And now in this horror show that we're experiencing together since November 2016, yet another attack on this country, I'm more grateful to DU than ever. Anyway, on the occasion of my unbelievable 100,000th post, I just wanted to say thank you...

p.s. And a hat tip to my first friend on DU, newyawker99, and her Milestone threads - who welcomed me on my very first post!
