Seriously, I like DU2, it is comfortable and it allowed me to easily get my message out...
But it took a while for me to get use to it when I abandoned the slow churning of Bartcop for the high frequency mad cap activity here on DU1 and then DU2...
And as I get older, I start weighing my options about how I spend my dwindling time in the throws of my mortal coils, so to speak.
At first I didn't want to go through it all again, learning a new format, navigated around to find my footing.
And I was this close to saying fuck it all using the justification that I spend way too much time on DU as it is and now....
Well, then I started to think about what I would miss, my cyber friendships, mostly, and realized that I could never truly walk away from the people that allow me pitch a bitch about something, share my Lung transplant Blog with and basically write what is on my mind and not have to worry about the outcome.
So I will be over on DU3.
Perhaps not as willingly as I would if I was enamored by technology and itching for change for the sake of change.
But I think, in the long run, after going over to DU3, all the things that seemed like deal breakers will eventually be overcome by the community spirit I have long treasured here on DU, whatever the version it is.
I loved my time in DU2. It is so important to me. I walked away from 24/7 involvement in politics here in Cleveland, Ohio because of failing health. If DU in what ever incarnation hadn't been available to me, I can't imagine how empty my life would be. I am a political animal, have always been and now that I was forced to the sidelines, this is the next best thing to me.
So for me DU is dead, long live DU.

Spend a little time here and DU2 begins to look strange.
Programming isn't finished on some things, and even after it is there will be some differences.
And some things will be adjusted along the way, as we've already seen with the change from 'Soapbox' back to GD.
But this is DU.
Welcome to DU, WCGreen!
