I gotta say, as a newcomer to FR, I'm pretty durned impressed with the moderators. Posts are near-instantaneous, duplicate posts are caught and redirected quickly, and the signal-to-noise ratio (of threads, not necessarily within threads) is quite high.
So we all looked at an article that feeds the gloom and doom machine, so what... means we're prepped for when our fence-sitting friends and co-workers bring up the "devastating Times article" in the morning. Not a bad place to be imho.
Amen, sister!
Amen! And welcome to FreeRepublic.com .....
