FReepers of a certain vintage will recall that strange species of missive, the “Opus.” Periodically members would leave, but would pen an “Opus,” the lengthy explanation. I never quite understood these; they seemed a bit self-important to me.
Today is my 25th anniversary on FR. I’m not going to anywhere, so this is my “No-Pus.” Many thanks to my FRiends for this great community. Apologies if I’ve ever been unduly unkind.
As of today I have 12,777 replies, 1.4 per day on average for 25 years. When I post a stat like this, some of my FRiends will point out that they have 200,000 or 300,000 posts and replies. All I can do is promise to try harder in my next 25 years.
Salut! Your FRiend, Jhavenfarm

That’s alot like ‘celebrities’ that are “leaving the country” but never do. For some reason even after the Opus, they wander back.

“It’s not you, it’s me” - Muh Opus.
Congratulations, Newbie.

Sorry I need a Drink.
I hit 25 years in February, but lurked for a couple of years before setting up an account. 498 threads and 16,140 replies so far (this makes 16,141 replies).
Made me go look at my FR b-day: Feb. 3, 2000. I’m late in claiming my 25th anniversary since it is now nearly 26years. Congrats on your time here - looking forward to more!
beat it, you no good bum
;)
Congratulations! Thanks for being here.
Congratulations! I just went over 25 on 2 December.
And only 11,000 posts.
I signed up during the electoral battle, too, after lurking for a couple years. We Freeped downtown Dallas and the Congressman’s office in Rockwall.
My homemade sign said, “Cartago delenda est.” I figured no DemocRat would understand it, even if they knew Al Gore was from Carthage. Guess I’d get a visit from the FBI today. Virginius Rufus ought to get it though!
