Others will probably disagree, but the above is my version
I had forgotten about the Roadkill .. LOL!
Restie ... it is a really long story and Westie, version isn't too far off
A little over 2 years ago a whole bunch of us use to post over at Lucianne's site .. that is till the bouncers started complaining that we were responding to each others posts and that was a big no no, which caused some to be banned from there. Then the Big Red Warnings started on the threads and we were referred to as "You People" .. we use to go by that name here on FR for a time, and then we were shortly referred to as The FReoples
I forget who suggested coming over here, but Christine emailed me to let me know where everyone was .. Tomkat was posting the threads with help from Swervie when Tom couldn't do it.
I think orginally there were close to 100 that came to FR ... Some stayed around for a while, some didn't stay .. others when to different threads and others just float around and check the articles out .. and others went over to LP
In the process of all of this, there were many ups and downs .. some were heated discussions and heated arguments and other times there were many good laughs and getting to know each other better.
After one heated argument, some went to the DD thread. After a bit of time as West mentioned we combined the DD & Freeoples thread.
We all here have many different opinions and many different view points on issues .. but most of all, we have a good bunch of folks on this thread who I am proud to call friends
