did you know any du'ers before registering?

[sundog]

[Call Me Wesley]

1. My wife.

She's 7800 posts ahead of me. ;)

[KitchenWitch]

2. And the undisputed Queen of the Nighthawks threads!

[bridgit]

4. omg i absolutely know huh...

it's like a little franchise within a business model :D

[Left Is Write]

3. Oh, yes. One in particular who steered me here to begin with.

[miss_american_pie]

19. And add me here

A regular DU recruiter, that one is.

[NNadir]

22. No. I still have never met another DUer in person.

[Left Is Write]

24. The person I'm referring to isn't someone I've met in person...

but she is someone I've known online for several years.

[terrya]

5. Nope. Not a one.

I know I could have just voted, which I did.

But I like to verbalize my vote. :-)

[sundog]

7. why thank you... thank you very much

[terrya]

9. Well, you're certainly welcome.

[Shine]

6. Nope.

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Yeah, one

But if I told you whom, she'd have to kill me.

And you'd have to kill her.

[redsoxliberal]

13. me too

[hfojvt]

10. shouldn't 'I don't know" be an option?

Or are you asking if I knew that I knew any DUers before registering?

It is possible that an old DUer is somebody I knew from high school or college or an old job. For all I know, my brother in law could be a DUer unbeknownst to me.

[malta blue]

11. Yes

I was directed here by one...

[Fenris]

12. No.

Knowing a DUer might have driven me away.:)

[terrya]

15. Well, I think ONE DUer wouldn't have driven you away.

:-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Not anyone!

However, now I know several......and the numbers are growing!


:woohoo:

And it's safe to say that knowing these fabulous people has changed my life...for the better!

[merh]

16. Didn't know a soul when I found the place.

And I am so glad I found the place because I have formed so many wonderful friendships.

I can truly say that the friendships I have found in this cyberhood have helped me in real life.

:grouphug:

[graywarrior]

17. Yes

[bigwillq]

18. No (nt)

[Alamom]

20. Yes.....one of the great women from Ohio who I have never met in

person, but is my best friend and I thank her.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

21. Yup...

... my bro...

Boring, but nevertheless true... and VERY hard to put an amusing spi on... ~curses under breath~

[truebrit71]

35. It's all rubbish I tell you...

...I've never heard of this pillock before...

...almost never that is.... ;-)

[mokawanis]

23. Yes, my wife

she posted here for a long time before I finally dropped in for a look just a few weeks ago. I must say she was right when she kept chastising me for waiting so long.

[existentialist]

25. not in person

I got interested because one of the other regulars on a chess site frequently posted the "top ten conservatives idiots" from this site.

[Maestro]

26. No,

but I felt instantly at home after having some of my posts deleted in GD and such. ;)

[shanti]

27. yes and no

i knew someone from another board who raved about du, always posted the 'top ten conservative idiots'. she never told me her du name, but was the impetus for my joining DU.

and i'm glad i did!

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. PassingFair is a beloved friend in real life.

She is the one who found DU, and then told me about it. Neither of us could get on for awhile though, because registration was shut down. :hi:

[Mutley]

29. My dad.

[tigersumtin]

30. Yes

My very loved younger uncle. Today I had lunch with four DU people 2 new 2 known, lookin forward to meeting lots more.:bounce:

[CatBoreal]

31. Yes...

Cornfield and I went through pregnancy together (my 2nd her 3rd)

[rosesaylavee]

32. My sister kept quoting from this site

finally convincing me that it was a good source for news on what was happening in Washington. She was right and I'm glad she pointed me here.

Thanks, Sis!

:hi:

[salin]

33. no. n/t

[Wetzelbill]

34. I interviewed Will Pitt and in my research read two of his books..

so after that interview and the books I decided to join up.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Now THAT'S cool!

Isn't he something?

It's great to see you tonight!

[Wetzelbill]

38. great to see you too

Yeah, Will and some other writers made me realize I wasn't a voice in the wilderness. At the time, I was a columnist for the Arizona Daily Wildcat and was one of the few MSM (College AP) people to write critically about PNAC. So yeah, I was pretty stoked when I first started reading his Truthout work. It captured just how I felt and what I was trying to put on paper. When I joined DU it was like tapping into a movement that felt exactly like I did.

[AVulgarianHue]

37. Yes

Khashka

[usedtobesick]

39. I am/was living with one....

it was the only way for me to talk to her anymore.... :evilgrin:
