Ah, as Less Nesman said, “those godless tornadoes” ... So how ‘bout that editing function for posts, Jim? :)

[WVKayaker]

...I became a monthly donor a couple years ago, can't do much, just a sawbuck a month, but that $120/yr (which I think of as 30 cents a day) is paid back to me with the best collection of news, commentary, social and political discussion, witty repartee, flames, humor, spirituality, and random weirdness that exists anywhere on the net. And I've been around most of the web, for more than 20 years now. ...

Pinging Doctor Laz!

Thanks to Jim Thompson, and his brother John! I don't know who to thank most, BUT, FreeRepublic is THE GO TO site!

We had a long drawn out debate on that about a dozen or so years ago. The no edit school won the day. Hard to debate a changing target. Yeah, we can keep a change log, but it gets messy. Also complicates the moderator function.

Ping to 23. Forgot to add you on the address line!

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, WVKayaker!

When do you sleep?

I am now living in Davao City, in the Philippines, and it is 4:30 PM!

Don't thank me, Jim, as it is all of us that appreciate what you and John do to make this our "home"...

Happy New Year, and I hope it is the best year we ever had!

BTTT

I just checked again to make sure my monthly FR support account is still active.
It’s good to go.

Maybe I'm an old-timer but I like simple pages of cleanly formatted text and a few graphics. It's like reading a book, only better. I absolutely LOVE the way the site runs!

This old timer is in complete agreement with you.

I laugh every time I see some chucklehead talk about running FR for "less than $100 a year" by using some "free/low cost" forum software an/or on some "free" blogging site.

In all these years, I've never encountered another forum that has the quality, consistency, and readibility of FR.

Following any thread (as well as jump-backs to previous comments, hotlinks out to other threads, etc.) is simply the best there is.

In closing, I would add my earnest request to all non-contributors: "Contribute to FR. You'll never know what you've got til it's gone!"

“I consider myself a guest in JimRob’s living room, and try to conduct myself accordingly. In return, he provides me with more informative, entertaining, and thought-provoking content EVERY DAY than I can possibly get tired of.”

Well said sir, thank you for articulating my impression better than most.

Use it or loose it folks. Pay the piper!
