I lurked in 97 after finding FR on Drudge. Introduced the ‘soon to be’ Mrs Conan to FR shortly after that. Enjoyed the Whitewater/impeachment threads, and, remember watching the video the day of the impeachment vote with the Dims getting on a bus to drive to rally with Slick. I think it was a Saturday, because I was the only person at work. I had to make up time because I was taking my Dad to chemo during the week. He was there for our wedding, but, didn’t last much longer than that. FR helped me through that.
But, for some reason, I never joined until Sept 98, the day before we got married.
Go figure.
I lurked for more than a year before ‘signing up’.
Did not want my name on any ‘lists’ the democrats may be keeping...silly.
20 years around here.
Unheard of in the modern online world.
Thanx Jim for holding back enemy hoards.
What a bittersweet time that was for you.
I was recently reminded by a very early Freeper that Jim Rob organized a group in October 1998 that went to the DC Mall and demanded Clinton be impeached. Without that demonstration, some say the impeachment would never have happened.
