Well, it's been three years since I posted my first article, a lame little "Hello". I was not only new to JU but also new to the world of the blogosphere. In these last three years I have been introduced to some very interesting thinking, some outrageous comments, terrible opinions, enlightened responses, some agreeing with me, some not, some purely anti-BFD and some very pro-BFD. There have been some memorable threads about polotics, religion, guns, crimes, immigration, and current events. I've been attacked and defended, called out and supported, lifted up and drug down. All in all, I feel like the experience has been a great positive in my life. In spite of it all, I like it here. Recent changes in format and apparent unconcern by managers have caused some of the folks I used to interact with to leave JU for good. Some of them have appeared on other sites and are doing just fine, some have bounced from site to site for what ever reason. I stuck it out here because I am basically chicken. I don't like change. I wasn't crazy about the new format but it is what we have and there is so much turnover on this site that a lot of its current users don't even know what I am talking about. No matter.
