Since you are "behind the scenes" mostly, we don't often get to say how much we appreciate all you do.

Today's search results still give the DU2 archives just as they always did, and I hope that Skinner will maintain it through the years, is what I was saying.

I can search DU2 without being logged into it, my DU3 log-in makes it work, but I cannot post there anymore without logging in there and have no need to do it.

AFAIK, you must be logged in to do any DU searches.

most of the distinctions between people who can afford $60 a year, and those who can't, don't bother me. This one does. I hope you'll consider adding it the features available to all DU members.

I can afford $60 a year, but haven't decided whether I will buy a star or not because the class distinctions annoy me (particularly when there is no means to share the wealth, as there was on DU2). While I would prefer no class distinctions (or distinctions combined with and fundraising drives/donations/giving stars to others), as long as the distinctions weren't too substantive they weren't bother me too much. This feels more substantive.

PLEASE remember to ask everyone you know who has moved within the past 4 years to RE REGISTER TO VOTE! the Repubs will check to see if you're registered in the district you're in and will turn THOUSANDS of would-be voters away on this technicality!
