Owner....owner....now who would that be? Oh yes...Jim Robinson, of course!
Listen newbie, Free Republic doesn't have a lot of rules, but one of them is, if you speak about another member in a post, it's considered common courtesy to 'ping' them to that post (put their Freeper handle in the address block above, so your post goes to their inbox).
You ESPECIALLY do so, if you're going to disparage someone in a post, as you just did to Jim.
I am not an expert on posting and such, I see this ping all the time, it is not something I wish to do, I post on interesting subjects to me. if you noticed I did post to Jim just before your post if that helps
