Economics convert. I am deeply interested in what plays out with Greece.

I have become a huge fan of this board over the years, and the posters, all of you bring so much...Demeter works tirelessly.

Believe me, I sing all of your praises to any and all. I have no doubt far more (at DU & beyond) appreciate all of you, perhaps far more than you are or may ever be aware of.

MattSh, I was blown away by your links. It's funny the things you learn along the way, some really do walk their talk. Your perspective means a lot, not only on this part of DU, but elsewhere, given your life experience.

I find more and more that what brings me back to DU, is not what once did (two stolen elections), but the different and informative perspectives from others who are really here to do their part and inform. Seeing through the whitewash is far more important these days, as well as looking at global perspectives.

Kudos to all of you here, truly.
