You keep repeating this useless phrase. For what its worth I started lurking just after the Civil War and started posting in the '60's before Al Gore invented the Internet.
As to Bob J, nobody owes him an answer to a "when did you quit beating your wife" question. The picture express the clear view that Jim Rob is the equivalent of Jim Jones and any FReeper that doesn't agree with Bob J is a brainless follower and cult member. This is clear to most everyone but you and no matter how many times you express your mistaken view it is changing no minds as it doesn't change the facts.
Good by and good luck.

I was a lurker for four centuries before I became an active member.
I remember in 1665-1666 we sent lots of posts (they were paper then)
to England to help with lighting the pyres of the dead.
That was a bad plague. Lost a lot of good folks from the forum then.
