I personally think a better analogy is that Dii.net is a public library and the Lounge, the AB, etc are research libraries. A public library has lots of available info, but some may not be as in depth as you would like. So what do you do? You go to the experts. You also deal with a lot of stuff you don't like or think is garbage (I'm thinking of the book-of-the-moment type of reading).
Both are good in different situations. I don't post (under a different nom de guerre) over there as much as here only because I usually don't have anything to say/add to what's already been said. That is one of the benefits to Dii.net. The sheer volume of people practically guarantees responses. But I won't go into the quality of some of those posts though ;)
