You were probrably a lurker during the Buckhead era and so remember those days.
“Oh how the mighty have fallen...”
Nope. I remember watching Rathergate unfold right here before my eyes! And I wasn't a lurker then. I was an FR lurker only from around 1998 to the GoreNoMore protests in late Fall of 2000. That's when I not only joined FR, but also got hooked on streetside political activism. The two were closely inter-related (see Operation Infinite Freep). But since the day I joined, I've been *mostly* active ... taking some time away here & there for Eldercare and other more pressing issues than politics.
(What? "More pressing issues than politics?" Bite your tongue!)
