A suggestion might be to forgo posting until you have been here long enough to absorb some Freeper culture. It could save you a lot of grief.
Biscuiteater states that he has been on FR for one year. Just how long were you using FR before you became aware of the "culture". Should someone use FR for two, five, ten years before they are culture aware.
Please respond with your specific ideas as to how long a newbie should hang around to acquire your preconceived amount of FR culture. Should this be monitored by FR administration and no one allowed until they have the right amount of "culture"? A final exam, a thesis, whatever...
I think giving "grief" is the FReeper culture...
Well, he's been lurking for a year. I think that's long enough to start posting.
