[Albion Wilde]

With gratitude to Jim Robinson and all the thousands of freepers and patriots I've met in person or chatted with online through this organization, I give thanks for the most wonderful news and activism site ever! I met many of you while freeping Walter Reed 2005 - 2012.... [more]

Sorry, I missed that.

[Jim Robinson]

Congratulations, Albion Wilde! Thank you very much and God bless you.

Well, I was curious about that (1995). :^) I’m not sure when I started here, but my first post was in 2004. :^)

[gnarledmaw]

Me too. 1983BC.

Remember having to use those homing woodpeckers to fly around to everyones hut and peck out the replies or when they would land and peck out the responses out of order?

That was the worst.

[Albion Wilde]

Such a lovely thing to say, and so true. Back atcha! ( (( hugs )) )

[Albion Wilde]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Jim!

[Kitty Mittens]

Congratulations, Dear Albion Wilde!

Congratulations Albion, I’m about 2 weeks from my 24th anniversary.

Some of us got da boot and then snuck in again.

I've been here since 98, although Ash preceded me.

[Lou Foxwell]

Thank you for this post. My earliest membership was in the same period as yours. A few name changes later and I am still here. Anyone remember Amos the Prophet? Thank you Jim for your constant effort to provide a forum for open and serious discussion of critical issues.

Alamo Girl

Whatever happened to her?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I’m way out of the storm’s path. It made landfall between Tampa and Sarasota, if I have that right, which are hundreds of miles from where I live.

Congrats AB; Do you remember what you first posted about?
I asked an AI engine (Co-Pilot) what was in the news 29 years ago and here is what it answered:

* OJ Simpson
* Oklahoma City Bombing
* Bosnian War
* Windows 95 release

[COSIllinois]

I even attended COUNT THE SILVERWARE IN WASHINGTON D.C. for Bush inauguration! A great Freeper event!

[aspasia]

Congrats! 21 for me!

[Captain Compassion]

29 years? Sounds about right. Started out as Tamerlane in 95 or 96. Changed to Captain Compassion when then candidate GW Bush started calling himself a Compassionate Conservative.
