I've been on DU for about 2 years now

[JAbuchan08]

and I've yet to crack 600 posts or establish any respect for the handle jabuchan on this board. I would call it a huge g-ddamn waste of time if I didn't get so much relief out of knowing that other people think and feel like I do.

On Edit: okay I cracked it today cool!

1. Hey FWIW

I recognize your handle when I see it :hi:

[JAbuchan08]

3. Cool! What does FWIW mean?

[SoCalDem]

for what it's worth

7. For what it's worth

You could hang out and flirt with strangers to get posts and a reputation. It's what I do.:-)

2. I've been here for about 2 1/2 years myself.

I should hit a thousand posts about midway through the Kerry administration.

6. We should start a club that doesn't meet in the lounge every week

to not have long and stupid conversations based on an initial vanity post. It would not be great.

4. What does your handle mean?

Out of curiosity...

[JAbuchan08]

9. It combines my first and middle initials with the first six letters of my

last name. Not too creative, but I like how it kind of sound Jamaican, like "Ja'buchan mahn. Every ting chris. Boombacla!"

14. Are you named after former Governor General of Canada John Buchan?

Author of The 39 Steps?

[JAbuchan08]

18. I was named after my grandmother Josephine but they took off the "ine"

5. Look on the other side: people don't think you're an idiot like they do me

I'm in the DU lexicon as "the guy with the bad music polls." See? Could be worse. :)

Seriously, post when you post; nobody's worried about your post count, or if they are, forget 'em. Heck, I always thought your username was a John Buchan reference!

8. i respect you!

and even like you!

WHO are you again? :D

just kidding

:hi:

10. Been here a little over a year...

...and I am just about ready to crack 300..so I guess I'm in pace with you. And I agree with you on "I would call it a huge g-ddamn waste of time if I didn't get so much relief out of knowing that other people think and feel like I do".
I was here months before I signed up, just to ease my mind. I hang out here a lot, just never much to say. When I do, it doesnt amount to much...heh. I think out of my close to 300 posts, I have had 4 replys. Oh well, it's still cool to have like-minded people.

[JAbuchan08]

11. Well here's five!

and since I hardly ever say this Welcome to DU! Actually this place would be worth it if I never posted - just for the Top Ten Conservative Idiots. Oh and then there is the running Soap Opera between Matcom and Catwoman. It keeps me from watching General Hospital when I'm home during the day.

12. Wow, you guys...

...have no idea how much better this makes me feel. I thought I was loitering, but I can't quit coming here. Too many of the like-minded to listen to and catch up with. Thanks.

13. I Have Been Posting About 2 Years

I joined DU in April 2002 and made my first post about May 1, 2002, and still have just a little over 300 posts.

I usually browse, some times more than other times, and post every once in a while when I have something I feel like saying.

[johnnie]

15. Yeah...

I learned a long time ago that you don't hear (learn) anything while yappin your trap.
Hey..here's my 300th post...Listening to the Beach Boys "Friends" cd...it's friday, beer in hand and life is good.

16. 8 Keys to DUniverse

Keys to getting a lot of attention on DU.

Talk about guns, Israel/Palestine, God, GLBT issues, Nader, any of the Dem primary losers, the DLC, or censorship.

You'll get your post counts way up along with your blood pressure.


Whatever you do don't post in Editorials or talk about Economic issues.

On edit: And always say Hi to NSMA! :hi:

17. Well congrats for 600 posts
