In reply to the discussion: To the younger women of DU: [View all]Le Taz Hot
(22,271 posts)33. Which is really funny because if you look at
how long I've been on DU and what my post count is compared to others of the same time frame, I'm averaging about 1200 posts per YEAR.
I've always found it interesting when people assume they know what another poster does or does not do IRL. I'm an activist, I've always been and activist and I'll always be an activist. I also regularly share my activism on DU so if someone really wanted to know if I do or do not "get out more," the answer is there for those willing to find it.
