So Long, and Thanks for All the (Swedish) Fish

[Mrs. Overall]

156. Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you have put in to building DU--

it has become a powerful political community.

I discovered DU in the dark days after 9/11 and lurked until 2003. DU saved me when the world felt like it was spinning out of control with the Bush administration and the media hopping onto the bandwagon that pushed for a war that to me seemed ill-conceived and just plain wrong. It was here on DU where I found like-minded individuals.

Although I don't post a lot, DU has continued to keep me sane for over 17 years (especially recently during this current administration) as I come here each morning for my news and for the brilliant commentary of many of my fellow DUers.

Best of luck with your future endeavors, David, and thank you again for having the vision to create and guide this important website.
