Today I became a star member and all I have to say is [View all]

What took me so long? Not only does it support this wonderful website, I don't have to wade through the ads anymore. Win-win! I tell you, this is the best decision I've made in a long time and it's money well spent.

Please let me know if this is in the wrong forum. TIA. Love you DUers!
