Same here.
I clicked on a Drudge headline the morning the intern story broke on ABC and it was a link to the "White Water" site (AKA, Free Republic). I literally lived on FR throughout impeachment summer. I remember telling my kids that we were watching history being made, minute by minute. I routinely lurked for hours every day but I was chicken to register because I was certain that the Clinton dirt machine could uncover posters' identities and sic the IRS on them.
I finally felt safe to register after Al Gore conceded for real. But registered or not, I've been a freeper since 1-21-98.
FRegards!

I lurked during this time. It was so refreshing to have this place to go and read what I was thinking. And new fresh ideas.
