Posts in one place where people can find them over the next few weeks. Posting in Activist Headquarters means people will be able to find the posts even after they've fallen to the bottom of GD.

The 2 times I've done it I have attributed it to the author at the top of the post.

I should clearly state that is what i'm doing in future posts? Or ask permission from the author?

The way I generally read DU, I never notice where an OP is posted.

I have actually tried in the past--to no avail--to get DU to be more action oriented, so if I'd realized you'd posted this to Activist Headquarters, I would have been with you all the way, despite the fact that this group is woefully ignored.

Again, I apologize. You did a good thing.
