I've logged in four or five times since Christmas Day ... and I thought that something seemed different around here.
So I checked my e-mail Inbox and I found this:
Dear bink,

Thank you, anonymous benefactor, whoever you are. I really appreciate this kind gift -- but even more that it is also a donation to Daily Kos.
I came to this community more than eight years ago. At the time, I was an eager, optimistic corporate worker bee who spent ten hours a day alone in a little office filled with server boxes and only the Internet to talk to.
I wasn't drawn to Daily Kos by the political horse-racing per se, but rather by an idealism and a growing sense that something was going very wrong in government.
Well, a lot of things have changed since then.
But Daily Kos is still here and still going strong and I am grateful for that. And I am thankful for my lifetime gift subscription. Of course I do intend to pay it forward. I think I know exactly who to give a subscription to.
Thank you.
