149. Oh, it's been taken over. And it's not going anywhere. The problem here is the Juries.

At other sites you can tell them what you think of the non-stop stuff being spewed. Here, you will get your post hidden until you are suspended or banned. I still serve on Juries, but it's amazing what is said and done.

Still, DU has a better Ignore function than most. A quick look at a poster will decide if they're here for that. Then Ignore 'em. You customize your experience here if you want. Then you are in a position to have real conversatonos without all the noise and diversion. It's still a great site.

DU draws all kinds, because the site is very user friendly - one of the best I've seen so far. So the Paul, CTers, whatevers come here to play because NONE of their websites are a tenty as good feature wise.

Hope you stay. I take a certain amount of time off to reconnect when the negativity is too dumb.
