Why do I have to be a technical geek in order to appreciate or use FR? And although it's none of your business, I have supported FR financially in the past, did so for several years. But even if I'd never given a dime to Fr, it doesn't mean I have to tolerate condescending individuals.
I apologize for coming across as condescending. I was trying to praise the website and its founder.
I am definitely not a technogeek. What I value about FR is the ease with which a user can read, respond, review, save, have a home page, even post an article for the input of other Freepers.
I like the format of Free Republic better than any other Forum on the web, and I respect the technological expertise of JimRob and his brother who are constantly evolving and improving the site.
