16. Certain DUers posts look like I would imagine NSA research

papers to look.

I used to have a couple of jobs in which I did research. (Not of the NSA or similar types) There is only one person on DU whose posts look like legal or corporate research due to the many, many citations or references to other sources.

It is quite a noticeable thing. A lot of work and study goes into those posts, and knowing what it is like to do that kind of work, I wonder if only one person is preparing them.

Oh, well. We will never know. But I think it is kind of funny. And the posts are always, always fanatically pro-Obama. What a hoot. Looks professional to me. Makes me think of my days doing various kinds of research.
