Always appreciate a rational discussion.

DU seems based on the old usenet/forum model where conversations have to be pre-allocated to a particular category (and DU's list of topics seem to be very dated.)

I've thought that a simple (from my armchair) perspective approach would let every new post (OP) be placed in a general Inbox which could then have "tags" (such as forum names) associated. From my armchair, this doesn't seem like a huge shift but I've worked in fragile environments (PHP, Perl) before.
