I've served two tours of duty on MIRT, including during the November 2020 election. The fellow DUers I worked with were fabulous and an extraordinarily committed bunch, especially with the concerns related to the election. We were a real team.

EarlG et al are really supportive, and it's rewarding to help a community that, without a doubt, helped many of us get through the worst of the last 4 years.

There is no schedule and no time commitments. You participate when you can, and nobody expects otherwise. A lot of it is spam, but you would really be surprised at what might happen.

My fellow MIRTers were unbelievably supportive and showed me the ropes. Many of these folks would put Sherlock Holmes to shame with their detective-like ability to spot issues that I never would have seen until I began to learn the ropes. I'm still a newbie, but every now and then, based on the training imparted by fellow MIRTers, I too began to spot an early issue every now and then.

It's nice to give back to a really great forum like DU.
