I was reading the news at Drudge (it was New Year’s Eve and FrogDad was watching television), saw this link - got caught up in the commentary and sat crying. There really WERE people out there who felt the same as me.
A few days later someone pissed off Drudge and he removed the FR link. I would have missed what has been a huge part of my education and life had I not found it when I did.
I think the most important thing about FR was that people all over the country realized they were not alone.
