which I guess is plenty of time for DU to change from its inception. Did it change before then? I ask because the "underground" part of the name always seemed to be a joke. "Underground" to me has a connotation of defiance, radicalism and persecution as a result. Maybe that's over the top but as a result, DU always seemed pretty mainstream to me.
