Oct 2013

As someone with a very low post count, I'd like you to know how much I appreciate your posts. I've only just recently signed up, but I've been coming here to read for many years. I'm sure there are a lot of people, just like me, who don't feel the need to comment so often when there are people much more articulate and informed than ourselves in a discussion. A sincere thank you from a shy DUer. My low post count doesn't mean I'm not paying close attention to the knowledgeable folks who add to the conversation. You're one of them.
