I feel, sometimes, like I have been posting here since the dawn of time.  In blog years that may be true. In that time I've seen a lot of people come and go, saw the birth of scoop and a couple of Kos's babies, the growth of front pagers to fellows and the evolution of politicians and columnists to dkos posters.  At various times I have lost my patience, I have lost my will to post, I've lost numerous arguments, and I have repeatedly lost--and gained, and lost, and gained, and...well, you understand-- my TU status.  But that which I have gained and NEVER lost is my admiration for Bill in Portland Maine and my respect for what Cheers and Jeers has come to be.
