Seems like yesterday that I became the "Taxman."

Ironically, since I do not "do" popular culture, I was totally unaware at the time that the Beatles had a VERY popular song by that name!

Actually, I adopted that "handle" because I was then, and still am, an activist for the FAIRtax

I used the FRee Republic Forum to advocate for it.

Comments?

Congrats! I started lurking in 1998, joined under another nickname in 2003, posted for a while then stopped. Moved, couldn’t remember my credentials, so JimRob kindly let me pick another handle.

Congratulations! I think I originally came onboard in 1999, but no longer had access to my organization’s email address when I left there. I lurked for a few more years and came back on board a few years later.

Time flies!

It was 24 years today
Sergeant Pepper told the band to play
They’ve been going in and out of style

You put this song in my head.

But congratulations, that’s a long time.

Congratulations.

My 23rd was last month.

Here's the Beatles song you mentioned.

While we are at it,

I’m the Taxman...

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all

‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

Now you have me wanting to watch some Beatles videos.

Congratulations! I didn’t remember my sign up date, but I checked and it was January of 2020. How quickly time passes.

Was originally here in about 1998. Under Bresnanlink.

They sold after and we had lost our internet com for a while until about early 2000 or so. I guess there was some kind of legal hassle that caused the suspension.

Re up in July of 2001.

I loved doing Walter Reed with the DC Chapter back in the day and drive by our corner this past Monday. I got a little misty eyed looking at our former roost.

Most likely I met you at the March For Justice as I was there too. Seems so long ago and actually a more innocent time, although we would not have said that back then!

Around the same time we were goofing off at work with the internet - our company did not have filters or firewalls at the time - everything was new - so we would get a laugh out of searching for “Playboy” - it was stopped.

A Romanian immigrant in our IT Department told me about a new site - Free Republic. He said it was the only site where he got his news. I was hooked.
