.... that if you forgot to close your html italics (f'rinstance) ... the next 2 - 10 replies would ALSO be italicized .... until someone woke John up

Was it “Italians Out” or “Italians be gone” that folks would post?

And who can forget A+bert and the perpetual troll Ash.

I wasn’t a member then, just a regular reader.

I remember when “W” Bush was a good guy, everyone boycotted French fries, and Trump was a Democrat stalking horse....

[eyedigress]

Don’t forget to close your tags.

[RckyRaCoCo]

CLOSE YOUR TAGS!!!

Yep, also got ripped a new azz for posting a vanity back then...heck, didn't know what that was. Grammar errors also.

...seriesly, felt like such a hugh looser.

[upchuck]

I remember that

Thanks John.

<br clear="all" /> is sheer genius!

I remember a FreeRepublic lexicon. I haven’t seen that in a while.

I guess because there aren't many moose and bunnies around anymore.......

[Balding_Eagle]

I remember when our entire phone number was 5 digits.

60013

[Mr Rogers]

I remember when folks thought Karl Rove was a genius!

[DJ MacWoW]

I remember when our entire phone number was 5 digits.

Nope. 4. Grandma and Grandpas number was 4244. I was 4 years old and knew how to call for help, "Come get me! Pleeeease?" LOL

[Laslo Fripp]

I remember when Jim Robinson was born.

[Balding_Eagle]

Hehe, we were obviously much more ‘modern’ than you!

[DJ MacWoW]

LOL!!!

[StAnDeliver]

Or that < blink > used to work right up until it was deprecated.

Or that an unclosed < font size = yuge > would maintain for the rest of the thread.

[mewzilla]

Backhoe.

He was a great egg.

[Atticus]

I’m old enough to remember Mia T’s bandwidth eating posts, A+ Bert and Ash Alerts. Old enough to remember being at the March For Justice and seeing Jim Robinson, Alan Keyes, Larry Klayman and others in the flesh, not to mention some great Freepers and some has beens like Matt Drudge and Lucianne Goldberg.

[Karliner]

I still have 47 printed pages on the HTML Bootcamp( Cyber Patriot training).

[Yardstick]

I’m just trying to get over the fact that Belly Girl was fifteen years ago.

[diatomite]

I remember Ash. I was just lurker/reader, not member.
