11. That was a really nice thing for the DU member to do.

There is way too much negativity on the board these days. It's reaffirming that there still are GOOD people on this board, who come here to catch up, learn and share different perspectives.

I've learned a lot during my years at DU. I've also learned that there will always be posters who come here only to argue. It's frustrating to be caught in the midst of those types of threads.

I appreciate you not only sharing this PM, but also I second the kudos expressed in the PM for YOU being gracious and keeping things civil in your prior posting.
