Welcome to Free Republic!

It can be intimidating in the beginning. I had lurked here at least 2 years before I joined. I joined and then I made the mistake of posting something that was posted a million times before. Boy did I regret posting it. I felt like such a dope. I think of it as my initiation flame. It's a few years later and I'm still here. Free Republic is a great place with the best of people.
