No big vanity here, guys (nor, perish the thought, an "opus").
I just wanted to observe the fact that I've been on this forum for 10 years today, and to thank Jim Robinson for the opportunity to vent my spleen and express whatever humorous or (hopefully) thoughtful impulses happen to drift through my transom. And when they do, it is often at the instigation and inspiration of many of you here assembled. You folks have become like an extended family to me, and yes, I truly mean that.
Thank you all for your passion, your humor and your continuing commitment to help restore the kind of America I recall so fondly as a child and a young man.
I sincerely hope that in another ten year's time, we will have taken steps toward restoring the nation we all love, and I know instinctively that all of you will have helped participate in that effort.
Best regards,
Andy
12 years here. Class of Nov 98. Lurked for about eight months afer hearing about FR...perhaps at Drudge?
LOL. Yeah, I had to check my own name to get that date. Thanks. I should remember it, but I’m getting so old I have enough problem remembering if I was going up the steps or down them.
you got me wondering about myself: You’ve posted a total of 1,181 threads and 24,031 replies. since 6-3-98
Kidding =)
No kidding...it's like a nursery school... :-)
Wizard, I have wondered for ages where you find that kind of information. Problem is, I’m afraid to look at how many times I’ve replied. I know I’ve posted very little. Usually see no need to because other Freepers are on top of things.
chuckles...
Welcome Aboard.
I don’t usually come out of ‘retirement’ to post anything, but in this case, I’ll make an exception. You’re a winner.
Well done.
cheers!
Under a different screen name, I beat you by six days; but ten years is a newbie.
You joined on the day of the MFJ. I was there.
Congrats! I am just a couple of weeks past 12 years at FR.
Twelve for me too.
>:)
Who knew?
Just wanted to remind you to post a vanity thread for yourself this week since you’re at your ten year anniversary with FR.
:)
Got my 12 year chip.
Class of 97 here.
I’ll be 10 in 2 1/2 months!

But was intimidated by HTML...and the whole enchilada. Finally swallowed the worm in 2000...
You guy's lead the way....!!
