5. I think it is odd

for this post to have far more recs than replies. When someone asks a question, aren't we supposed to answer, or do we simply rec because Steve is cool and he's back in the group?

I am off more than usual, and post sporadically. I have trashed some forums and groups to rid myself of some of the toxicity although it can be everywhere on DU these days. Hand issues limit me some days to mouse clicks and one-hand typing, which I hate and therefore seldom do.

I will be very thankful when the primaries are over, and I hope we will return to a more civil place to hang out. I learn a lot reading in this group, but it angers me when the disruptors/alert stalkers ruin the threads. Not to get too meta, but I would love to see a time when the hosts control the groups and not a jury from all of DU.

Stay well, Steve.
