To those of you who don't make DU suck ...

Keep it up! You are amazing people. The time and effort some of you put in supplying real news boggles my mind sometimes. Those who are on the MERt deserve a shout-out for their work keeping DU in order; been there, done that. The stories and opinions shared here make a flat world into a multi-dimensional community where tolerance can be the norm, and all of you make me better than I am one way or another.

To the couple of people who do make DU suck … just don't. Figure it out.

Be well, everyone.

If you sucked, you wouldn't have replied to my post. Ha. Sucking is a subjective thing as in, suck is in the eye of the beholder.

watching their wheels spin over, and over, and ... you get it. And sometimes, even sucky people have a point. I think.

Thanks. Nice to hear from you, Skittles.

We had some wild times. The ones who are left are quite a bit older now, so it has calmed down a bit.
