On the Draft Gore board in 2002-3-4, then the AlGoresupportboard, the official Kerry board, where unbeknownst to most there til way after the 2004 election, the official board was hidden from public view part of the time, and all those that thought they were doing something in essence were not heard), the spin off CGCS (80,000 posts there), until its demise last Feb. fighting against the repubs/libertarians/teaparty/gun nuts(my fight against guns legal and illegal continues here), that at the end were more numerous than Obama fans (where I learned a good lesson about CT's on that board and following bread crumbs that were spread by people with a lot different agenda than was led to believe)
and CGCS died overnight and basically has completely disappeared even in google as if it never existed from one minute to the next, poof, gone.
learned a big lesson from the Kerry board/ CGCS about plants though made some good friends there (a couple are here on DU). Lost a very good friend who died during that time
