“I would like to see an idealogy litmus matrix here on Free Republic, but when I proposed it to Jimrob, he called me a newbie.”
I just checked you about page. You have been here since 1998! I’m surprized Jim would call you a Newbie. I’ve only been here since 2003 (I lurked for a time before). So, I’m a “Newbie” in the eyes of the Old Guard.
Yup, if I had signed up 4 days earlier, I’d have a 3 digit Freeper number. I lurked too long... ;-)
I’m not even sure we can access our freeper number any more.
