FreeRepublic Dumbed Down? Vanity Post

I had not posted here in a while and now I find that F.R. has dumbed down their posting format.

I guess it was bound to happen. I enjoyed the HTML because it forced me to think and learn while posting news,events, and replies here on F.R..

Now just anyone can come along and post anything with no thought at all. (HMMMM?)

Dumbed down = User friendly

I agree with your point though.

FR is where I learned all my HTML skills

You can still use HTML. Meanwhile let's hope this spells the end of the occasionally bonehead-formatted allruntogether post from folks who don't know html tags. Not knowing HTML is not equivalent to stupidity, after all. That is, it's not equivalent to liberalism!

Personally, I am more interested in what folks have to say than in their HTML skills.

If I am dummed-down any more, I won't be able to drool without help.

I wasn't aware I could stop using HTML.
If true I'm in favor of it's demise.
Now if we could just have a spell checker.

That is true, very true, but I just like how F.R. not only made you think about the news and events of the day, but also made you think when you posted or replied!

I guess I'll just keep fancying my posts up with HTML just to keep in practice!

Now I wonder when they'll add a "Spell Check"? LOL!

Beat me to it ASA Vet!
