Hi Tanyev,

Thanks for your warm welcome. I'm off to a very slow and somewhat disappointing start in this community. Not ONE person had a thing to say about my post of Hakeem Jeffries' amazing speech prior to handing the gavel of the PEOPLE'S HOUSE over to the clown (Pennywise??) who accepted it. I put hours of work into the very nearly verbatim transcript of the Democratic House Minority Leader's speech. As far as I know, even to this date, there is no better transcript online. I'm an excellent editor and I have the time, energy, zeal and skill to do more of this kind of work, but I don't see any enthusiasm for it in this forum at this point. I'm brand spanking new to this forum, so maybe I didn't post it in the proper place and buried it too deep. I really don't know. I've tried to involve myself in discussions at Daily Kos and was only made fun of by another very snarky "democrat." Might have been an undercover troll; who knows, but I haven't felt like putting anymore of myself out there in THAT forum, which I OTHERWISE support by adding my name to many petitions AND with financial support as I am able. I cannot say what my ongoing participation in THIS forum will be, but at least the community based moderation here seems quite capable of eliminating any undercover trolls very efficiently. What a shame our country, and really, the whole World, is in such bad social and political shape. Well, lest I blah blah blah you to death, I will finish by once again thanking your for your warm welcome. And yes, Mr. Mxyzptlk, who appears if you can say his name backwards, was from some old school comics, indeed. I was pleasantly surprised that the name was not already taken. I remember the spelling thusly: Mixy zip talk! LOL!
