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!!!
