And whilst I was no NOT on the FR site, before there actually was FR, I’ve been here since WHITEWATER...though I lurked for almost a year prior to posting...so even though I missed out on the AOL days, I’ve been here posting far longer than you have; n00b! ;^)
Posting longer, yes. Here longer, no. I’ve been here since well before Whitewater. My presence precedes your sign up date by many months.
I would say our longevity here somewhat confirms many of the negative consequence of “Social Media” as discussed in the aforementioned post.
You, not I, need a freerepublic 12 step program my friend ;)
Thanks for sharing!
