Oh stop... you better know we love ya. If you could indulge me in a bit of selfishness: Each time one of you elders fades away the DU is diminished, so stop doing that ok? Thank you very much for your guidance and in my case your patience.

Reaching even further back to our founding fathers: from your hobby back in 01 to your full time jobs today, thank you for keeping this phenomenon going. You three have had a most profound effect on thousands of us and in so doing have undoubtedly had a profound effect on American Politics. Thank You Very Much for that.

chknltl,
PROUD MEMBER OF THE BIG DU FAMILY.
