No problem.

I do not think I got pinged.

I think I just read your post and wondered what the Long Knives issue was all about.

I recall the name Lucian Goldberg, but I do not recall the context, even after your reference to the website.

Congratulations on your first book.

I have learned more on Free Republic than in all my years of public and private education.

I’m having a hard time figuring out how I might’ve helped you. I see only one FRMail from you, I may have sent you prayers a while back when you were looking at some staggering medical bills (IIRC).

At any rate, congratulations!

[Billthedrill]

Congratulations!

Re: "The Heartbreak of Misplaced Seniority"

I arrived at Free Republic on Bush v. Gore election night in November 2000.

I had my original FR account on auto-sign-in for four years.

I bought a new Dell and sent my old computer back to Dell for recycling.

The next time I tried to log in to FR, it rejected my usual low risk password, and I had to start over as a Newbie.

Poof - four years of Seniority disappeared.

I was not a FR pioneer, but I would have been here on Day One if I had known about it!

No worries friend, I saw the post but happy you pinged me. I am impressed that you persevered to write a book! I ordered one! I pray GOD’s favor on this work of your hands and heart! May GOD be glorified. In Jesus’ name!

[Oberon]

Nice work... well done.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammo!

[SouthernClaire]

I’m so happy for you, Chuck. A job well done, I know. (And I plan to find out for myself, btw.)

[skeeter]

Thanks for the ping, I’ve been looking for something on a similar topic & will check your work out.

Lol

I didn’t want you to think I was pandering.

Freepmail me any time you wanna talk about writing.

I have “some” experience. (I think I’m at 30 books including a #1 NYT bestseller, thousands of columns, and a dozen screenplays). I also know novelist Brian Freeman (”Bourne”) pretty well, and have some small insight into novels.

[Pontiac]

I to look to FreeRepublic for my continuing education growth as a citizen and for growth as a Christian.

I thank you for your efforts to further the spread the word of God.

And as an aside you show that even something as evil as Amazon can advance the Kingdom of God.

[ProgressingAmerica]

Congratulations and good luck with future success.

If you would ever like to record this as an audiobook, let me know. I can offer you a lot of pointers as I have recorded many, many audiobooks.

You will reach new customers who otherwise won’t(simply because they can’t) make time to read - they are too busy. But they will gladly listen to you either at the gym, on plane flights, and many other scenarios.

Convenience is an untapped resource. Convenience, convenience, convenience.

I did mean to use "Effected" instead of "Affected". When I ran the word checker it did not bring into question the uses, probably because both words are correct spelling.

Try GRAMMERLY

Strange loss of password

I’ve gone thru 3-4 computers since signing on (’98) and have had no problems at all.

[Army Air Corps]

Good for you! Congratulations!

Congratulations. I will note that, for all aspiring writers’ information, that Jordan Peterson was so frustrated by the incompetence of his students at writing essays that he wrote instructions on how to do it, and ultimately got collaborators, notably including his son, to create
