Like you I need to get used to them. So, far there only 2 concerns I have. One is that we will use the search function on the stuff on old DU - and that will be a real loss. (You have no idea how often I went back to the thread you started in 2008 when you suggested we research the legislation behind the collapse of the economy. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=273&topic_id=152906 Most recently to dispute that Barney Frank never voted to regulate Feddie and Fannie)

The other is that combing GD and GDP might lead to something more like GD. There is, of course, the Obama group, but that will not serve the same purpose and is not a main forum.

I do think that only time will tell if these two things become problems. Of the two, I am more worried about the search of the old stuff as it is an incredible resource when trying to defend Democrats in other places.

edited to say that although I can't find something saying precisely what I would like, it appears that an advanced search function is being worked on and from some comments will handle the old stuff. If so, I'm happy.
