I don't know how they do it. Figuratively and literally. But I'm glad they do.

thanks!

Anyone who appreciates Carl is a good apple in my book.

I'm quite a simple person.

He was dogged in revealing the secret experimentation on humans during the Cold War. They are probably still doing it but he got it out in the open. Love him for that!

What Skinner does matters to tens of thousands of people, and I appreciate it so much.

I burst into tears as I started to type, it was so raw. Thought of how awful it had to be for Skinner, Elad, and EarlG -- someone tried to murder their "baby."

we should be o.k. Liberals, progressives, unions, environmentalists, feminists, gay activists, scientists, economists.... All these factions need to align and fight conservatism. It's meaningless and has become a cancer on democracy in 2016.

Thank you Skinner for the boards and it's rules. We need them and we need to elevate our conversation so that everyone hears.

And for getting me a new password so quickly when I had a tantrum. Not my finest week, that one.

I suspect that there are many DUers who have known only a Democratic administration while being members here.

Some of us remember Skinner's quiet assuring words after our loss in 2004.

So, yes, thank you for keeping the faith.

I would be lost without DU to turn to.

I would be freakin' LOST without this board. The time that this board was down after election day was some of the worst days I've had since I lost my job a few years ago.

I love DU!

For a forum for the most of America.

I am new to DU and in the short time before the election, I became dependent on this site. No trolls, thoughtful thinkers and humorous comments saved me from sobbing in my bed in he days after the election. In fact, I became a star member before the hack because I couldn't bear MSM. After the hack, I was distraught. I am grateful to be a tiny part of this community. Thank you Elad, Earl G and Skinner. Much love.

And Thank you.

Thank you, Skinner!

I appreciated the personal touch of Skinner working with me to get my password reinstated. I was semi-frantic and we corresponded several times via email and I know how incredibly busy he had to be during that time. So, yes, one more big Thank You!

Not the easiest to type on.

I couldn't survive without DU. It is my 'sanity place.' And I just about lost my sanity while DU was down.
I thank the three of you so many times over, for bringing DU to life, and for keeping it going all of these years.
We are all going to need this place more than ever, now that the orange thing is in our midst.

Long live DU. And Skinner, Elad, and EarlG!!!

I would be lost without this site.

Holy FUCK do I think that. Sorry. But GODDAMN.

If we live, it'll be on them. I swear it.

Bigly. GODDAMN you wonderful fuckers. Sorry.

and all the hard work you put into getting it up & running again after the hack.

Being able to voice ourselves here makes us feel like we're contributing something to our overall cause. As least that's the way I feel.

The best thing, though, is that people all over the country and the world can read up on so many important things they see on DU that never get reported in the mainstream media. Thanks for that!

he done skinned mah pappy!

THANKS, Skinner!
I couldn't bear this right now without DU!

the priority on getting it up & running is not has high as it was for DU.

and that's what Democrats are

Thank you, Skinner!

especially for dealing with that hack, and re-opening the board to us!

In addition to appreciation, we should be sending the guy checks.

It was good for me to see everyone posting here, while I stopped short a couple times of actually posting myself, it helped to know I could still see people's opinions / feelings being posted.

If the forum hadn't got hacked, I wonder what a job it would have been trying to patrol this place!

Thanks. Skinner, for always keeping the ship afloat!

Elad.
