Like you, I must have sent a check by mail.
I joined Democratic Underground on Wed Oct 6, 2004, 02:48 PM.
However, Id lurked for several years prior to joining DU. Ive always had the same name from DU1 to DU3.
DU is my online home. Ive had the pleasure of meeting up with many of my fellow Georgia DUers over the years as well.
Yall are the best! Cheers to DU and to the Administrators; Skinner (owner), Elad and Earl G!
