FRiends, today marks ten years that I have been on FreeRepublic. I want to say thank you to Jim Robinson for providing this site and for providing a forum for conservatives to bounce ideas off each other and to wax eloquently(or just plain wax ad nauseum)on the political issues of the day.
I want to say thank you to all of you for the insights and knowledge so freely shared here that enhances the understanding of a myriad of subjects every day, and which has helped me to make sense of the events of the last ten years.
Although many in the mainstream media have refused to give FreeRepublic its due, it is beyond question that this site has helped to shape political history in America in the last ten years. Those of us here know the score. I have met some of you over the last ten years, and I know the fine quality of the people on this site.
To any I may offended or been short with in my electronic ramblings, I offer my sincere apologies. To any of you that were enlightened by my posts in the last decade, I have no idea how that happened!
And to all of you, I wish a healthy, prosperous and joy filled New Year in 2009 for you and your loved ones.
Happy ten years! Just passed my seventh.
Congratulations! And thank you very much!!
CC—I’m a piker—I’m a few below 11,000 replies.
Is this your fulltime job? ;)
Yup! Hope myself and FR are still around in 2018. (I was just kidding about the welcome to FR thing.)
August 5, 1998 naa naa NE naa naa! ;9)
“I think we are supposed to be ten years wiser, too.
But let’s not tell anyone, OK?”
Like vintage wines, we mellow with age (I think). Here’s to you!
Humor abounds here at FR. The satire here is unmatched anywhere.
Glad you found us.
BTW, what does your screen name refer to, and please keep the explanation G-rated. ;)
here here i second all that
Congratulations exit! Thanks Jim!
Exit 148! How are you?
You know you were the inspiration for my screename. It is such a Jersey thing, right? What exit are you?—for the folks in Rio Linda, that’s how we locate each other in the Garden State. I thought your name was so clever.
Well,I hope 2009 finds you as active as ever—we will need experienced hands on deck for the Reign of Hussein.
Take care.
Thank you Ed! Virginia is a fave state of mine.
But it is turning blue!!!!!!!
Congrats!! I think my decade in freeperdom is this coming March!!!
It sure has been some ride!!
Thanks, Jim - and all of you freepers!!
I’ve only been here 3 months and I’m already addicted.
Thanks—yes you beat me. I don’t why I waited so long. I found FR in early Oct. 1998 and attended the March for Justice in DC later that month.
Swift I’m not.
Happy New Year.
Gotcha by 3 weeks.
Congratulations on your seven years! Seven is the number of completion, so I guess you’re done! ;)

Thanks, GL! I hear the Class of ‘99 is getting better all the time. ;)
