10 years a DUer. Thanks DU, and thanks Skinner!!! [View all]

With the holidays, I totally blew by my 10 years date that happened a couple weeks ago - Dec 23, 2004.

I had planned on writing a long op about all of the changes and permutations of DU over the years, but those that have been here that long are aware of how this place has changed.

In the dark days of Dean's campaign's demise, Air America and DU were the two shining lights that made me think things could turn around. Sadly, I am still waiting 10 years later.

I hope to be here to see the pendulum swing left again.

Thank you Skinner.
