Only took 25 years or so...

But I finally get credited with 1,000 posts.

I think a few got lost in the very early days of DU, but here I am. I was a federal employee most of the time, and reticent to violate the Hatch Act. Ah--those were the days, when a law had meaning....

Also a former federal employee. 21 years and 400ish posts. I mostly enjoy reading and took a long break when Obama was president.

When I was employed by the government. I think I've made up for it since, though. Retirement gave me plenty of time to participate!

It is so satisfying hitting that first 1000 mark even if it took a couple of decades!
