Post 80,000. 18 official years, and 80,000 posts. It has been a remarkable journey

[niyad]

so far, and one I look forward to continuing. To all my Sister and Brother DU'ers, thank you. Looking forward to so much more as we fight to save what we love, and to make things better for all.

Love you all (wellll, some more than others, but. . .).

[LanternWaste]

9. Your posts often make me think.

You and Redqueen were prolific in HoF when I was just beginning to educate myself about women's issues.

And both of you posted so much source material and reading suggestions to help others like me who knew so very little get better acquainted with the subject matter, the concerns of women and most importantly, the perceptions women have about various and varied actions in the world that I simply never thought of prior to reading them from you guys.

In effect, thank you!

[niyad]

67. You are most welcome. It has been, and continues to be, my greatest joy to share

knowledge and information. I remember how difficult it was before the '60's. One would have thought that women simply did not exist.

I AM WOMAN! HEAR ME ROAAAAAR!

[Aristus]

24. One of the pillars of DU..

This place is a haven of sanity in the midst of the wacko thumper cult chaos. You have been a key part of that sanity. I'm coming up behind you about 77,000 behind.

[niyad]

88. Awwww, thank you. I am in amazing company. This place has been keeping what little

is left of my sanity, lo these many years.

[Tadpole Raisin]

gotten more knowledgeable reading your posts.

Thank you and congratulations!

[niyad]

90. Awwwww, thank you. This is one of the many things that I love about DU. The

amazing knowledge and wisdom and experience and talent herein collected. Not to mention, some of the sharpest, wittiest and snarkiest people I know.

Now you're going to be reluctant to respond, because it will change that incredible "80,000" post count!

[niyad]

94. Now I am working on 90,000!

It is like watching your odometer for when it becomes a particular number, but often we miss it.

49. Congratulations....

[niyad]

113. awwwwww thank you

[Pepsidog]

50. Awesome! I followed DU for years before I knew I could sign up. Best site for news

and opinions. DU got me through “W’s” last 4 years. Obama’s two terms were great, didn’t think much about politics. I can’t imagine living through TFG’s 4 years without DU. My wife and kids don’t understand that DU is therapy for me and many others. Keep up the good work.

[niyad]

118. It has certainly been my therapy, my go-to for news, for sanity, for humour. I shudder

to think what these last twenty years o
Would have been without it, without my DU family.

[JudyM]

51. Love and respect. Congrats!

[niyad]

119. Thank you.

[Tumbulu]

52. Thank you for all of your efforts on this board, they matter

And I appreciate your voice, your point of view and your resilience.

Thank you again.

[niyad]

120. You are most welcome. It has been, and continues to be, my greatest joy to share

with my DU family, who give me so much.

[love_katz]

53. Keep on trucking , err...posting!

I love your posts, Sister. . May you make many more.

[niyad]

121. Thank you, my sister. May you do the same.

[niyad]

126. Thank you

[Judi Lynn]

85. Niyad, you're always a positive presence here. You have depth, wisdom, honor, awareness, generosity.

It would clearly create some real enemies among conservatives, but you are a constant light here.

Don't just coast, now that you've reached such a milestone, not that you would, but you would really be missed! You have a place in many hearts, which is no small achievement. ❤️️

[niyad]

127. I hope you know how much your words mean to me. And I hope you know

how much you are treasured. I cannot tell you how many times I share your discoveries.

You are correct, I do have some enemies in those circles (do death threats and assaults count?). Silly ones, just makes me more determined to fight on until we achieve our world.

Onward together!

[MustLoveBeagles]

116. Congratulations Niyad!

It's been great having you here on our journey together and you have given me a lot of strength and hope and sometimes you were one of the only voices that was backing certain causes and taking on certain battles, but you never backed down and you have bee one of my role models since the beginning!

So glad you are still here to light the way!

[niyad]

131. I am honored by all that you said, and I look forward to all our lights joining in one

enormous, bright beacon, lighting the way to a much better world.
