The notables who post here...

[TrustingDog]

As I am a newbie, just wondering who some of the heavier weights are that post here.

Bev Harris, she drops by, right?
Josh Marshall
William Pitt

also, Any idea of how many members DU has?

[havocmom]

1. More than most realize

and just about everybody watches us, whether they post or not. Think of this as just one more method to get your message out.

[Trajan]

2. The number of members is located at the top right of the 'Forums' page ...

and stands at about nearly 46,000 members

I dont recall seeing Joshua Micah posting on DU, but he would surely fit amongst DU Heros like Pitt and Bev Harris ...

<edit: corrected membership #'s>

[Don_G]

3. Guy James

The host of a liberal talk show and Andy Stephenson running for Secretary of State in Washington and working with Bev on BBV.

I have no idea of how many members are active here.

As for notables, nearly 46,000 people is a lot. There's the famous and not so famous. But if they don't use their real names, you won't know who they are.

[LosinIt]

5. I am famous

at least in my own mind.

[DS1]

6. We're all notable in our own special ways

:evilgrin:

Take it away, underpants!

[Az]

7. There are many differening types here

Each with their own style and ways. Some are known in the real world while some are not. You really can't tell who is going to bring the better argument based on fame alone. Its best to let your experience tell you what you need to know than to have us fill your head with our biases.

8. bit off topic, but...

Some abbreviations that used...

15. you WISH you could pay no attention to my ASS

:P

[Az]

18. After years of training

Studying buddhist meditation. Traveling to far and exotic locals to study with gurus. I have finally been able to block the ass. It has been blotted from my mind. It is no longer recognised. It is.... DOH! There it is again! Damn the ass!

[matcom]

20. buddhist meditation won't do it

however, an eyewash of an acid bath probably would do the trick. of course, its like looking into the sun....when you close your eyes, you can still see the spots

:D

[TrustingDog]
