Reply #46: I was a daily lurker for years

[GenDem]

I found DU the day after they stole the election in 2004. I followed all of the election fraud threads. I don't think there have been many days since then that I haven't come a lurking. During the mid-terms I worked at our county HQ's with a fellow DUer that couldn't believe that I visit every day, but was not a member. Two days before the election she signed me up...she was worried I'd be locked out with the high traffic.

I discovered the lounge soon after I joined in November. I still go into GD, LBN, and GDP...and will post on a thread that I feel I have a meaningful opinion on, but I do love the lounge and most of my posting is done here.

This is my perspective -- the serious forums (GD, LBN, GDP) are like a political committee meeting -- very important, relevant, and for the most part serious. The lounge is like going out for a drink with your fellow committee people after the meeting. For me the lounge is the great balancer.

Thanks, MissHoneyChurch! I :loveya: DU! I'm glad I finally signed up.
