Some click on threads that will lift their spirits. Others will share their angst or seek to comfort those struggling.

That's entirely up to each individual DUer at any given time. Outside of the terms of service, nobody should attempt to sway how others choose to post here.

Humor existed in the trenches of World War II. There's room for lighter fare here in the Lounge always. The world isn't without tragedies and hardship at any point. We could just live a glum existence forever, but who benefits?

Back to the regularly scheduled programming...
