Damn!!! Rule #4.......

4. Only members with a DU Donor star next to their username may post messages in the DU Groups. Non-donors and non-registered lurkers are permitted to read DU Groups, but they are blocked from posting in them.

Damn. I see now that many of my "come on over... bring donuts" invitations were sent to DUers who don't have stars. Well... at least they can hang out here, browse around and maybe decide to join in.

1. Shame those idiots have been able to take over both GD and GDP

:mad:

2. yeah, invited my GF over and she can't post - doh!

How about this. I'll give stars as a Christmas gift to anybody that was invited who can't post due to lack of starness :)

3. I would happily do that, too.

5. Cool! Tis the Season of Giving..

7. Wow.....

My donating paid off. I was beginning to regret doing it due to the climate on the other boards, but now I see it was a wise decision. :woohoo:

8. It doesn't cost that much to give a star, really. Once I found out it didn't cost $25 a pop to do...

... I gave a bunch away several months ago during a pledge drive because there was a thread for the starless. It was cool. I don't remember who-all they were, but I think some of them came here. :D

Anyway, here's a pot of coffee and a box of donuts for tonight to keep you all energized while you mull it over.

9. Well, that gives me until February to post here. And it gives me some

time to decide whether or not to donate again. Do I pay money to post here when the majority of DU is anti-Dem and anti-Obama? Or do I find someplace else that "generally supports" Democrats and Obama?

Time will tell, I guess.
