168. Manny, Manny, dear dear Manny...

Dec 2015

I've just learned that you've been tombstoned while I was away and all I want to say is thank you for the many years of your excellent pertinent commentary, thought-provoking, and hive-poking.

It's a long hard road we're travelin' and as a leftie from way back when (been called a pinko commie right here, once too often, during my fourteen years of DU membership), I feel a keen solidarity with those like you who only wish to fight the good fight.

I'd like to echo what Javaman has so eloquently written in an earlier reply as I agree with everything he's said ...

"DU was once an amazing place. Truly amazing."

I wish you all the best, dear Manny...all the best!
