Seriously, I like DU2, it is comfortable and it allowed me to easily get my message out... [View all]

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.
