3. I saw this earlier...

...and was a little disappointed simply because we DU-ers already know most of what these authors were presenting. We're ahead of the curve. Still worth watching Alterman tell his last anecdote, though.

4. You are right.

Many times over the last few years (since Selection 2000) I have looked forward to seeing someone on the media, or the release of a new book, or hearing a live speaker, only to be disappointed because I was better informed than they were.

An obsession with DU does have some negative consequences.
