3. I'm very glad you're still here. Your username has become plenty familiar to me over the years.

Congratulations on 20,000+ posts!

I got here in late summer or early fall of 2001. I remember your username, it has always stood out in my mind.

However weird and unfriendly DU can sometimes be, it has always been my home ever since those dark days in 2001. Thank you for still being here, and thank you for your lovely OP.
