One of the best things about Free Republic is that so many people from various fields read it. Very often people are researching a specific subject, but they are missing an important piece of the puzzle, a bit of information, even a photo.
For instance, I would like to put together a compilation of the bogus material used by John Kerry's anti-war group, Vietnam Veterans Against The War. Specifically, I would like to find the photo that I am sure I saw on FR of bogus war vet (and VVAW head) Al Hubbard together with John Kerry on "Meet The Press." I have tried using FR's seach engine. I have tried Googling. But to no avail.
How handy it would be if I could just type in that as a request and it would show up somewhere that the person who first posted the photo might see.
If it is possible to put a small box on the front page with a rotating list of specific requests, I think it would help improve this site as a research tool.

If it is Kerry, could this be a "birds of a feather" separate post? Great stuff - share it with the Freeper community.

I'd like to know if anybody can tell me what happened to my home page designation window in Internet Tools, General; about 2 weeks ago, I logged on to MSN and when I clicked on IE on the desktop a message jumped that said: can't find \\C:\WINDOWS\secure.html, so I went to tools and the General window appeared and it had highlighted C:\WINDOWS\secure.html.
I backspaced it out and typed in Drudge report and closed the window and then reopened it and the C\WINDOWS\secure was back.
Even stranger is if I delete the active window and then type a letter the screen just below the bar opens and lists all the files that begin or contain that letter just as though the C:\dir command had been typed in.
I'm pulling my hair out over this and if that isn't bad enough Drudge and Google seem to be crosslinked; if I have one and call the other, I get a blank window.
I'm running W95 and IE5.5 and I've learned to put up with this slow 120MHZ POS, but this may be the last straw.
Can anybody throw a hint my way??
