Dear DU:

[tekisui]

This post is not to instigate counter-reaction. This post is not to incite division. This post is to say thank you.

From across the country and the world, we are connected. Our conversations flow by as naturally as the tides. One line posts. Threads have a shelf life of 1-3 days. Yet, our conversation is without end. It ebbs and it flows. It is never the same, yet is constant.

We are a few thousand parts of a complex vin-diagram. Agreements come in unexpected places. Disagreements raise interest. Where we overlap and where we repel is not always obvious or intuitive.

That is what keeps us coming back. Our connections are what keep us involved. Our connections on an issue. Our connections to each other. It keeps it interesting that at times we go for the other's jugular.

What matters is when we stand together.

Thank you, for what you do. You provide encouragement and support. You are a constant challenge and a formidable foe.
