Feb 1999 but I lurked for a long time before I officially joined. FR was the only thing that got me through Clinton’s impeachment. Then, the 2000 election, then 9/11, and the next thing you know, we’re fighting to save our country.
I came in when Monica/Drudge hit and stayed through the impeachment, when they didn’t convict I drifted away from everything for awhile. I forgot my password and had to re-register later...maybe the mods can find my original sign up date? A few years back I found some of my old posts, not sure of my screen name back then.
