2. Not at all.
LBN and GD are where I get my news, almost exclusively now.

It's depressing for sure, but I prefer to be informed.

DU isn't the only message forum on the web, just one of the better ones (some would say best) if you can stand the occasional flamewar and people talking about, OMG, politics!

7. 10% interest
I can identify with that, have also recently gotten bored with the gd board. But am not sure why, since it used to be my fave. I think it's gotten to be too much about the different candidates, not all of it readable. And then, I am way bummed that the blackboxvoting site got confiscated or whatever all happened. And it just seems that in general, there are so many truly lousy things happening that keeping up with all of it isn't possible. I often skim for good news, and am glad when I find some.:D

8. I must say, I have way less than I used to..
I guess it's because we have all been in "high gear" for so long, and since we have grown so much, there are not many threads that last more than a few hours.. It gets tedious to always be looking for a thread and not being able to find it..

AND..my pet peeve..

TOO MANY THREADS THAT ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.. I can never remember which one I was responding to, and I just lose interest..

and of course the candidate-bashing ones..:puke:..

I read more than I post these days.. I guess you could say .."The thrill is gone" :(
