I rarely post on DU. I have less than 5000 [View all]

Posts tho I have been either lurking or a member for many years.

Why? Because many times people can be unnecessarily unkind.

Just put up a post and I am just deleting it.

Not worth the flack.

But I will continue to check DU daily and rec. and pay my dues.
