I stayed at CU and was one of the first at CC. I have enjoyed both of these forums for years! There are some incredibly intelligent people at both sites, not to mention funny as hell. LOL

Agreed, the folks at CU and CC have been wonderful and in some cases good friends in real life.
This will allow me to continue this gigantic thread and explain how I originally found CU.
Sometime around 2003, Rush Limbaugh mentioned Democratic Underground a couple of times on his show. Personally was not familiar with internet message boards, especially political ones. While I certainly followed politics, spend most of my time working, doting on my relatively new bride and also following sports.
So I looked at the DUmp with perverse awe. Had no idea that such lunatics actually existed. Occasionally just popped in to read their rantings and laugh. Some "primitive of prominence" at the time (Frank's term) named Supercrash kept mentioning these neanderthals at Conservative Underground. Being the inquisitive type, decided to check it out. And joined in April 2004.
Eventually started posting more frequently, Supercrash has not been heard from much since, but thanks to Rush & that particular DUmmy, that's how I ended up posting there.
