I started with Lucianne, not knowing about FR. When I discovered FR, I never went back. I experienced all elections since 2000 here on this site. My most memorable event was 9/11.
I went the reverse route. I fist found Free Republic in 2004 via a link from a biker forum I hung at. Saw people talking about Lucianne, so I checked it out. I liked FR better, so I settled in here.
