I get to use my database skills keeping track of the media sites that I use for posting threads. Add in the work experience in both the public sector and corporate life, plus an inquisitive desire and hopefully it leads to some interesting posts along the way.

I do admire your posts in the Wisconsin Group and I enjoy seeing the more active state groups on DU.
