Seriously.

I lurked for more than 10 years before gathering the courage to sign up and post. The members in times past were stellar - I learned so much from wiser souls. And continue to learn from everyone here.

My husband is a long time, frequent poster, and I consider him one of the pithy ones. He’s smart as anything, and I just love having a Freeper around the house to inform me where I need informing. We have the best political discussions.

I am sorry to only add snark and smart-ass remarks where I can. I actually know a lot, but have always been intimidated here, because my nuggets and opinions can’t hold a candle to those that have gone before.

However, I do contribute $25 a month for the privilege of reading, learning, sharing and being amongst FRiends,

God bless all here.

That is SO true.

I well recall being too intimidated to sign up because of the unbelievably stellar postings of the old time Freepers, circa 2003 (or so).

This place seemed like a conservative think tank to me, at the time. Now.....not so much :-(
