I joined this site years ago. When I first joined it was a great site for discussions. It was civil. Citations were expected. Different views were accepted and respected. That was then, and is certainly not now. Express a view different from the cool table, and expect insults, abuse, and disrespect. But perhaps the most unique time to be around this site is the week (or so) before Valentine's Day. The administrators sell hearts as a fund raiser. This is kicked off by giving each subscriber one heart that is displayed on their posts. Members can buy additional hearts and share them anonymously with others on the site. The week (or so) before Thanksgiving is flooded with middle-school-like posts thanking members for the gift of a heart. The topic page is flooded with "Thank you for my heart!", "Thank you for all of the love!", "Thanks for the heart whomever", etc. Strings of hearts at the bottom of one's posts are signs of popularity. It is right out of middle-school. I cannot imagine the outrage should this fine tradition be criticized on DU.

Our old wine oooller gave out after several years - so went shopping for a new one. Found and ordered the NewAir 321ED from Air and Water. It was delivered within a matter of days.

Set-up was very easy - let sit upright for a couple of hours. Wipe inside with lukewarm water.

The unit had all wine down to selected temps within a couple of hours. It is absolutely silent!

Very pleased with this wine cooler.
