I just wanted to say Thank You to everybody [View all]

for all the empathy, kind wishes and support of every sort (financial, emotional, spiritual, physical, Ian's pizza, etc.) that our fellow DUers have extended to the Cheesehead contingent during our last 16 months of travails. It would have been much harder to carry on without you, and without DU as a refuge when we needed it. I'm pretty sure I'm not just speaking for myself here.

Rest assured that though we have lost the first battle, we will carry on the fight for all that we're worth. And more.
