8. We've known for years that DU is a reading place for a variety of people who like information.

Other than the "Agent Mike" jokes about surveillance here, there have been any number of times stuff from DU has turned up in interviews with some well respected folks. Our LBN forum is a huge resource because anything that appears there has GOT to be linked to at least one mainstream news source. You can read news here and have a reasonable expectation that it's going to be legit. Something else that has always been a huge plus, IMO, is the benefit of reports from DUers on the ground where stuff is happening. What you see happening might only be a part of the story, but it sometimes that offers an insight that is WAY ahead of the news cycle.

Some of our speculation can turn out to be wrong once more facts are available, but even that is often supported by opinions from some pretty well informed/educated people.

Take the interpersonal stuff out of the mix, and DU is a pretty handy resource if you are looking for information.
