Nov 9, 2000 I created my first & only account on FR, after a few years of merely lurking. The urge to post grew too strong to resist joining. Easily the best www-related decision I've ever made!
My sister Mollynme discovered FR first and alerted me to it. (She succumbed to cancer 8-1/2 yrs ago).
Unfortunately, today I learned of the passing of another Freeper who was with me and 8 or 10 others from the Fall of 2000 until at least 2006, in a faithful group who engaged in street corner activism, each of us making our own signs/posters: Former residents of Johnstown CO - WeldGOPHardline & his wife FireEngineRed (she had bright red hair) - moved out of state a few years ago, and her health later went seriously downhill. She just died this morning. How sad it happened on my 25 FRanniversary.
I guess the lesson here is that Freepers get old & sick too, just like everyone else.

“Election Day 2000 was held November 8.”
“The timing may have something to do with people joining FRā¦”
Now that you mention it, it was three weeks after that when I signed up. Lurked a couple of years prior, and was on Lucianne then.
