Or one can pad the post count by posting in any of the special interests (DU groups) forum.
You must be a donating member to post in the groups section.
Yes thats true but if one has the gift of bullshit one can sucker another of the wealthier duers to donate in your username 
I used to donate 5 or 10 bucks a year, just because it was worth it to use the search function.
Now, I've lucked my way into getting that star donated to me. You can't just outright ask for one, especially with a low post count. I claimed that I had been donating to several of the DUmmies favorite congressional campaigns, and just hadn't gotten around to donating to DU. That line got an anonymous donor to generously get me a star.
