(12,904 posts)I have seen a few people go through what these new people are going through. It's hard to lose your heroes, and sometimes it can be hard to lose them all at once like that. We should all try to be a little more tolerant of the newbies; we were all new at one time or another. There do seem to be a lot of new faces around, which I take as a very encouraging sign for the future. And damned if they aren't a pretty "fired up" bunch!
Welcome, all new DU members!
There is also the phenomenon of the "lurker"; a category that I fall into a lot, due to a serious lack of online time. Sometimes it's all I can do just to get all the headlines covered, much less post a pithy, intelligent comment. Thanks to all posters, for making sure I am staying informed!
