OK, thanks! I miss all the gossip.
I went and did a Google search for Hobbit Hole, but there are too many out there. I did find this though: Seen and Heard (scroll down to the second entry) so we got noticed by someone out there!
On google you can restrict a search to a particular domain, in our case www.freerepublic.com. Google used to have all threads here indexed, but there was some policy change, and they are much less inclusive than formerly.
Wow, we have been picked up by a columnist for World Net Daily, Joseph Farah's newssite. Now if he tells somebody else about us, we may get noticed.
