Lucianne Goldberg, Publisher
Amy Sheehan, Editor in Chief

I would love to begin at the beginning,

How do I get to thread #1???

Congrats & Kudos again Lucianne!!!

Well, I believe that L.com is far more than a web site. In the days of the American Revolution, papers circulated spreading the message of liberty and the concept of how a nation of free people could survive. To me L.com is the 21st-century equivalent of those papers. I will not be surprised to see this site go down in history as part of what saves America at the turn of this dangerous century.

I first discovered you at the time of the '00 election when I can't imagine needing this more (except perhaps during 9-11). A thousand thanks for a brilliant political education!!!!

Dear Ms. Lucianne:

YOU DA MA'AM!

Best of health and be safe!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It must feel wonderful to know that you have touched and brought so much pleasure to so many lives. I feel priviledged to count myself among this group of people, who have become a part of my family over these past years. Bless all of you, and I encourage all l.dotters to take the time and contribute to this website like I do, so that it continues for another 400 years!

To Lucianne Queen of the Internet, wonderful staff, and incomparable posters,
I salute and thank you all.

May we keep meeting like this for years & years to come. God bless.

Lucianne Rules!

Na na na na

Na na na na

Hey hey hey

Good Stuff

Let the fireworks commence!

Congratulations and best wishes for many more years of keeping us informed!

Thanks Lucianne.com!!(Staff Too)
Thanks to the Posters that I learn so much from too.

Congratulations Lucianne!

..and to the class of '99 who are still posting here.

Congratulations to all!!! I couldn't survive without you!

Congratulations Lucianne, Amy, Igor and all the rest!

This is the most wonderful and enlightening site on the web.

I do miss the Weekend Round Tables, though. Maybe we could have them on three-day weekends? or, once a month?

You are the best!!!!

GOD BLESS ALL of You !!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my absolutely favourite, must-visit-daily website. A great big Cheers! Hugs! and Cyberkisses! to Lucianne, Amy, Igor, and staff. Thanks for the laughs, the education, and the news articles which always appear one or two days before I read them in the paper.
Long Live Lucianne! Queen of the Internet! Long Live the Queen!

Congratulations, Lucianne and your wonderful staff. You all do a wonderful job and I do believe it is 24/7/365. Enjoy the site, you have a group of very learned people, I enjoy all of them, except for the site pests, of course, that have to come here to vent I guess. Keep up the great work, and Congrats again to y'all.

Happy to make this the occasion of my very first post...after lurking and loving it for all of the four years. Thanks to all.

Congratulations and thank you, staffers and posters. I logged in on September 12th, 2001 as a leftist liberal. This site has opened my eyes much wider. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your intelligent posts, arguments and discussion.

Happy Anniversary from me and from one of the infamous LDot cats, Boomer.

Many thanks to Lucianne and staff. A special smooches and hugs to my CA sis.

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!! We have all been blessed by having this wonderful website to rant and rave. I always say how much I love retirement but it could be the fact that I am on Lucianne.com either lurking, reading or posting a good portion of the day. Thank you for keeping us all up to date and holding our hearts and hands during the difficult times. Pray for our wonderful President and our boys and gals overseas.

Can't add much to most of the previous, except Thank's Y'all!!!
My first stop every morning, and my last every night.
DDD

Gee it seems like only yesterday. Thank you Lucianne and her Coconspirators

Congratulations Lucianne and staff. This has got to be the greatest site on the web. I start and end my day here.
Guess I was an original poster and alway assumed I was a late-comer.
4 more years.
4 more years!

From the black, late hours of the Slimy Administration through the Gonzales enslavement through the attempted coup by the man formerly known as Tree through the unethical takeover of the Senate caused by Jumpin' Jerk, through the Toricelli switcheroo and the Wellstone Memorial Bund Rally, and all throughout the more than a year long worldwide Saddam butt smooch festival, whenever I felt that either the whole world was wrong or I was insane, or both, I've known that I could come here and vent. But much more than that, I could find people as intelligent as I was (many more intelligent); worldly, knowedgeable, sharp, funny, and caustic powerplants of truth and reason. I could share my mirth, misery, outrage and sense of cosmic justice with those who saw what I saw and unerstood. For all this and so much more, I thank everyone involved in this...state of mind.

And for our beloved benefactress, Congratulations! In the words of one of my favorite philosophers, Hobbes: Muchos Smooches, Lucianne!

Thank you Lucianne.com. Newly registered and loving it!

Hard to believe it's been four years!

Guess the time really does fly when you're having fun!

4 years wow!!! Time sure flies when you're having fun--the best site on the web

Thank you so much for keeping me sane and providing the opportunity to learn and to laugh all at the same time! Many more years and God Bless everyone here and God Bless USA, GWB and our Military!

When it's all said and done,L.com will make the history books. It will be one of the main sites credited with the information revolution that changed the face of American politics. At a crucial time in American history, no less. I believe, without you and a handful of other sites, Algore would have prevailed.

Thank you Lucianne and staff. You've saved the world. You also saved me from anger management, as my wife suggested in '98.

She thanks you too.

Have been visiting since December 1999. I'm totally addicted. Keep up the good work. Nothing frustrates Libs more than Conservatives congregating, sharing ideas, and gaining strength!

God Bless you Lucianne! I don't know what I'd have done without this site and all who contribute. The insanity of the Clinton years was difficult to deal with.
Happy Anni!!!!

Congrats & Thanks!!!For keeping me sane and informed (O.K., not always sane).

I echo all the sentiments above, and thank you, Ms. Lucianne, for the sanity you and this site and the L-dotters have given me through the last four years...

MANY HAPPY RETURNS AND MANY MORE YEARS.

I can't believe I waited soooo long before I registered and started to post.

O well...

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH LUCIANNE, AMY, AND STAFF!!!

It is nice to know there are still people out there who want to save the Republic and don't buy into the liberal BS. With FOX news and LUCIANNE, I think the Republic might stand a chance!!!

Forget 4 more years...you don't have term limits!!!!

GO LUCIANNE!!!! I'll be here until I'm an old geezer...and so will you!

Congrats...

A short story: After being banned from this site a little while ago for a silly prank, I wrote an E-mail to Ms. Lucianne expressing my apologies. A little while later, I received an E-mail from Ms. Sheehan reinstating me as a poster on this website.

This is only one of MANY examples I have seen of Ldotter graciousness and courtesy. The people on this site reflect the habits of those at the top.

Any favorite Lcom moments? I have two:

1.) January 20, 2001 - front page read "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

2.) Ldot Christmas party in 2001 - a very funny essay regarding the virtual get-together was posted on the site. Igor was mixing drinks while a line of people waited patiently to use the Bill and Hill dartboard.

By the way, steph_gray, I have thought about the similarity between this site and the revolutionary networks and newspapers many time. This website is the embodiment of an aroused citizenry.

Damn - had to navigate thru three threads to say CONGRADULATIONS, GANG!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!!!!!! ALL MY BEST!!!!!!!

I just dropped in and read it was your 4th anniversary. Congratulations on a job well done!!!
I have been following you from the first time you came out about the Monica fallout. Loved the way you expressed yourself and were so quick on your feet. I was hooked. If you were booked on TV, I made sure to watch. I found your web page early on but lurked mostly. Finally about a year ago, decided to join in on the fun.
Miss the WRT's a lot. There is no webpage as great as yours. It is my daily fare the first thing in the morning.
Keep up the good quality web page. Don't change anything. My kudos to Amy and everyone of the gremlins who make it work. Doris2

Congratilations and many happy returns.I've been with you from the start and it's been a great ride.Keep up the good work.

Thank you for saving my sanity during the 2000 presidential recount, Florida Supreme Court fiasco and the night that Gore took back his concession to Bush. I honestly think Lucianne and her posters saved me from an extremely deep depression! My face was white as a sheet for days. People I barely knew were worried about me. Some of your posters said they ended up in the hospital and I felt better.

Thanks Lucianne.

I enjoy the posts, posting articles, and also the opportunity to see news that I would probably otherwise not see.


The most memorable moments for me was the 2000 election. The Lucianne site was a beacon of hope in political process gone awry.

I enjoy the elegance, the wit, the humor and most of all the validation of core beliefs that other posts provide.

Thanks Lucianne--you are a true Patriot!!!

You are the most wonderful people alive. You make what we do here a labor of love. If this site is your life, trust us, it is ours as well. We are reading these threads with smiles and tears.

We have some rough times ahead - all of us - we must, absolutely must hang together as never before. Everything we believe in is about to be proven. It won't be easy but we have each other and a President, thank God, who knows who he is and what is right. Hang in, stay close, fear nothing, we shall prevail.

Eagles Up! You are in our prayers.

Lucianne, Amy, Susan, Marinka, Betsy, Jason. Igor, the not so little Sheehan tribe, Margaret Thatcher (Ldot Cat)and assorted and deeply impressed with being part of an army interns.

Gee -- I get to post right after our esteemed Hostess Lucianne. At work today someone said to me --- How do you stay so informed on all these topics --- I replied that I get lots of information from reading LUCIANNE.COM This is the grreatest for all sorts of information and a god place to let of some steam too. THANKS LUCIANNE AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO A PERSON WHO LOVES THE TRUTH !!! Regards, Your Uncle - Tedward

Okay, what about this...a L-dotter Convention in Washington, DC at the Capital steps or the White House ???

I vote KCStan as honorary Site Pest Emeritus. Though we usually disagree, I admire your persistence, gracious good manners and well thought out (though slightly flawed) statements. God bless you.

Lucianne, Amy, Igor, et al: This site is more of an outreach than a website. I credit my time here for taking me from a casual Republican to an informed, rabid member of the VRWC.

God bless us, one and all, as we step into uncertain times. Remember to pray for our troops and God bless America.

Fantastic site you have here Lucianne (and crew!). Where else can you go to get a taste of all of the day's news from around the globe...AND a group of people to discuss it with? You are my homepage and necessity to check with throughout the day. If news is happening...I'll find out here. Thanks!

I join the throng & say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you Mrs. G, and all your staff (cats included). I am proud and privileged to be one of the happy posters. You all have opened my eyes and mind to what's at stake in our world.

You all make me a better person!! :-)))

God bless you all - & FOUR MORE YEARS!!!

Congratulations to Lucianne.com and hope you have many, many more. Thank you just doesn't seem enough to express my gratitude to you and all the wonderful people here. The best news site in the world and many times over Lucianne. com has been a lifeline in this crazy world. Thank you.

Thanks Everyone! It is a privilege to work here. I feel like I'm the lucky one, getting to work with Lucianne and the rest of this fantastic staff, getting to know so many of you through your posts, and learning from your thoughts and the articles you post. The staff keeps it running, but your contributions are what makes this site!

This seems as good a time as any to say a special thank you to Dreadnought for being The Most Dedicated Poster.

One more well wisher here to express my sincere appreciation and thanks for the opportunity to interact with fellow conservatives and get news that would be unreported elsewhere. Congratulations and best wishes.

Dear Lucianne,
Thank you so much for this site. A co-worker turned me on to it during the nail-biting days of the 2000 election and I've seldom missed a day reading here since.

Thank you for providing a place to expand our minds with the news of the day and with the views and comments of the many wonderful regular posters. Their eloquence shames me into the role of a quip-and-run poster. Perhaps some day I can reach their level.

Thank you, Ms. Lucianne, Amy, Igor et al for all the work you do. Ya'll are the greatest!

Let's Party!

Igor, why don't you open the


and Amy can pop the


This card is for all of you:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Lucianne, I had been lurking for months thinking all these smart people were too snappy and witty and fast and knowledgeable. But somewhere along the way (probably on a WRT) I jumped in and haven't looked back. So many other sites seem tired and dull compared to all my friends and teachers and mentors on Ldotcom. Thank you Lucianne and Igor and Amy (especially Amy - she has bailed me out of not a few stupid mistakes) and StaffMouser and even Mrs Thatcher, because a critter keeps people sane. As the Brits would say we must ''keep our peckers up'' because we have some wild times coming. But we all can know that here we have friends and sanity and sanctuary. Thanks again Lucianne.

Happy anniversary to all!

This place keeps me grounded as well as informed. It's so nice to know I am not alone in thanking God for living in the best place in the world and in being so proud of our president. Terrorists have tried to throw us a curve ball, but we will hit them out of the park and win back our security. Keep our ship steady Mr. President and fellow Ldotters.

Dear Ms. Lucianne,

It's so nice to hear from you! All of us owe you a debt of gratitude for providing a forum where dissenters from Leftism could gather and discuss the issues of the day. I live in a fairly conservative state, but there are many others in more liberal parts of the nation who must view this site as pretty much their only lifeline to sanity. Every day, I am charmed, amused, and inspired by the thoughts of Ldotters as conveyed in their insightful posts. Their thoughtfulness impresses me, their cogency of delivery makes me think, and their righteous anger when events warrant it is always a refreshing balm. Some conservatives have written off their fellow Americans as hopeless, but this site proves that wellsprings of character still run in our national soul. America counts for something still. Our national story continues. And Ldotters, along with like-minded citizens, are busy leading the parade.

Congratulations, Lucianne . . . did you ever imagine you'd be an internet guru grandma? (And mom, of course!) What wonderful fun and a great way to help rouse the right-thinkers of the world . . . Thanks to you and your staff for all the great grazing . . . smiles forever!

Well, since someone opened the can of spam, and asked the favorite moments question, here are mine:

On the serious side: Election night 2002. I think that I wore out a keyboard that night. Also, for the gracious posts supporting CISM following 9/11. For those of us in the business of helping the helpers, it's nice to be appreciated.

On the lighter side: The "WWJD (What Would Jesus Drive)" thread. A classic for all time, as the second poster simply stated 'a one iron'. Anyone who has ever played golf probably spilled their drink on their keyboard, as I did.

Many blessings and thank you's to the inimitable Ms. Goldberg and her incredibly hard-working staff, and my fellow Ldotters, as well. You all are amazing and have become an everyday part of my life.
I shall not forget one stunning night in November of 2000 when the Ldot family came together with the headline of one simple word: PRAY. I could just feel our hearts and minds moving together through that event and the tragedies to come.
Lucianne, you have given us a place to call home in cyberspace and hold fast to each other as we face the unknown. May love, courage, strength and faith bring us all to peace.

Happy Anniversary! And thanks to Luci, Amy and Igor. I know I often allow my mouth to overload my (Self-Inflicted Edit) but it's great to come here and trade thoughts about the news of the day with like-minded people. The sharpest people on the internet haunt Lucianne.com.

Lucianne.com was the real reason Algore worked so hard to get the internet invented, up and running. LOL

Happy Anniversary Lucianne!!!!!!!!!!

When you count those who love Lucianne.com, count me!

What! Four years already! How the time has flown. What's with this 'four more years' stuff - I'm hoping for a whole lot more.

Many thanks to Ms. L., Amy, Igor, et al - what a fine family we have become. And we have been through so much together.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you...

My favorite Flintstones song seems appropriate here:
