Poll question: How do you read DU?
I'm just interested to know how DUers go about DUing things.

Though I guess since this is a GD thread some groups will be underrepresented. I'm not going to spam this thread across multiple groups though, as that would be impolite.

1. Here's me....
Mostly read random stuff off the latest page, and play in the Lounge. Occasionally venture into CT and MA state forums...

4. I start out in LBN and then go to GD
then GDP, check my posts, visit the lounge and back to LBN. I lurk a lot in LBN because I don't have a lot of time to read various news sources, so it is great that all the news is in one place.

LBN is what brought me to DU in the first place because I am a news junkie.

I also visit the cooking and baking group. Those guys can really cook.

21. I am the IT department so I control the firewalls
So at least I don't have to worry about that. I forgot to add that I also click on "My Posts" about a million times a day. That's how I Do DU.

8. I read the latest page...
but also dip into the Grateful Dead, Music Appreciation, and Skeptics groups.
Also the Science, Writing, and Florida forums.
Very occasionally, I'll hit many of the other issue-specific forums, such as Drug Policy, Energy, Gun Control, Elections 06&08, etc.

9. Latest Page - then keep up on threads I've posted on via "My Posts"
As for forums, Animal Rights is pretty much the only one I regularly visit.

17. LBN, GD, Science, Lounge, in that order
Some days I never make it to Science or the Lounge and rarely I don't make it to GD.

20. I could only chose one option
but I do specific searches check a few forums and groups, then just hang on the latest page.
