How? Why?
When I finally did get broadband, I began checking FR again & during the 2000 elections it became my main source of news. I saw myself as a consumer of its content, however, rather than provider.
FR is not hard to use but it does require some learning and ruts can be hard to break. Also, for some reason I thought there seemed less anonymity (just perception) than what I was used to.
I completely forgot what caused me to start posting when I did.
Anyway FR is a wonderful group, Freepers are wonderful people and I regret waiting.
