        We can always go to DU Facebook - those of us who use it.  I think that it worked in 2016

        I checked it out in 2016 and it was pretty awful.  Does DU have a Xitter page?

        All updates and work is very appreciated. DU is the best as an information clearinghouse.

        ---maybe suggest that most of us refrain from posting anything that does not pertain to the election.

        I miss the old DefCon days, when various features would progressively go out.

        I normally choose "leave me logged in on this computer" when I log in. Does that tie up resources ?

        Are there any non-essential functions we as members can avoid to significantly lighten the load?

        About these "crashes". Refer to Churchill's "fight them on the beaches" speech. Yeah, that one.

        Doesn't it just suck to have such a popular and well-run home to come to?
