One of the most impressive things about YOU, fellow Kossaks, is the breadth of knowledge YOU have accumulated. Smarts spanning from aardvarks to ZyXel. If you ask a question on Dkos, ANY question, it WILL be answered`at the very least with a link or a clue!
The Daily Kos is truly a cornucopia of information. So much so that it can be like Sipping from a firehose ! I don't want to try to tell you how to use it!!! So here is Not buhdydharma's New User's Guide to dKos! The best guide to Dkos ever written IMHO! And for a list of GOOD series on Dkos have a look at part of the FAQ Yes dkos is Wunnerful and with these few extra gems of wisdom in hand, you may peruse its pulchritude at your pleasure!
Any Questions?
What? Still?
So, what IS your question? If I can't answer it someone else will! Silly questions, Serious questions, Big questions, Small questions. Bring em on !
PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS IS A COOPERATIVE EFFORT!!! MAKE SURE YOU TRY TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS WHILE YOU ARE HERE!!!
BTW 42 is NOT the meaning of life, my favorite color is blue, no, green (I'm still here!), and tying fruit of any kind to swallows is indicative of a very peculiar and rare psychosexual disease....seek help! While speculating on the airspeed of UNLADEN swallows is a far milder form....I still urge you to examine your soul! For those who have no idea what I am talking about I urge YOU to ...Ask A Kossak!
Inspired by iceman let's keep the Lurker discussion alive and see if we can lure even more of the little buggers darlings out! As I've stated, I feel that Lurkers are the most underrated and overlokked segments of the site. As we can see from poll on the diary cited....

There are little beady intelligent and discriminating eyes IN HUGE NUMBERS spying on analyzing with critical acuity every crappy ass comment brilliant word we write here!
(NO.....Don't turn around....I'll tell you when it's safe to look!!!)
So this week let's ask the Lurkers what THEY think of Dkos and their role here, shall we?
(of course, you don't have to be a Lurker to answer!)
Tonight's First Question: What is the main attraction of Dkos for you?
Tonight's Second Question: Have you ever had an opinion or viewpoint changed by reading dkos?
Tonight's Third Question: If so, was it a diary or comment that changed it?
Tonight's Fourth Question: Do you read just diaries? Or both diaries and comments? Or just comments?
Tonights Seventh Question: Obviously you enjoy the quality of the diaries/stories here or you wouldn't come....so what do you think of the quality of the commentary?
Tonight's Eight Question (stop fidgeting!) Do you get caught up un the Soap operas and Flame Wars in the comments?
Tonight's Ninth (penultimate, I promise, bonesy!) Question: Do you enjoy or despise the Drama in the comments, Iow, does it add or detract from your enjoyment of the site?
Tonight's Tenth Question: Do you resent or enjoy the fact that Hidden Comments (which can get VERY nasty indeed, though only occasionally) get Hidden by Trusted Users? Bonus Ponies for expanding on your perceptions or observations on the moderation system here!
Tonight's Random Answer: Giraffes! (Tip o' The Tam O'Shanter to Bill Holden! A pony to the first one that tells me why!)
Tonight's Silly Question: Will we ever reach peak Meta, or is it a myth perpetrated by the manufacturers of Troll ratings to drive up prices?
