Your comments again remind me of the old bulletin board days on Compuserve. We often discussed that the "rules" on the Democrat Forum were not well applied. We Republican Forum people (this was back in the day the actual parties "ran" these forums) would go to their forum and just post something like, "Clinton is a liar" and we'd get called every curse name in the book or get "banned".

But they could come to our site and say almost anything. Our Sysops just let them hang themselves with their ramblings and attacks. By 1998, many on the CIS forum were bring this site up and I finally came in and joined.

I even remember I'm like #1244 or #1294 to sign up. And I even found a post to others on Google once about me coming in. Some other poster from Compuserve "introduced" me let others know I was "okay"! lol

Of course, I wasn't a regular poster simply because I was still on a 26K modem with Windows 3.1 and using Compuserve Mosaic to use the internet. Not quite the optimum!

How fast things change. I think that computer had a whopping 10 MG harddrive and a whole 1 MG of memory! Boy, was I high tech at that time!

I had just joined when I met you in the Situation room.My son gave me an old computer with little memory left.I had to learn to type again so didn't post for a long time.I now have cable and more memory than I can imagine using.

Now if I would take the time to really learn how to use it(multiple windows?..HUH..How do you do that!)You all are old time internet users and long time FR members...I am a newbie(because I'm an oldie!)
