Very few non-Q Freepers are aware that most of the news posted on the main forum has been known here in Q town for weeks, months, or nearly a year.
I'm always concerned that we might be the equivalent of Globull Warmers; the whole sold on a lie, gullible, relying too heavily on peeps in lab coats or a sore loser politician, pee our pants in hysteria when we see a polar bear on a microberg, etc. Maybe that's where the fear comes from when they refuse to observe how often most everyone here passes what we learn through such a filter to ensure we aren't being duped.
