Favorite FReepers...

[Long Cut]

We've all done it. You've just gotten home, logged on to FR, and are scrolling down the "Latest Posts" page, deciding which thread will get your attention this evening, when THAT SCREENNAME jumps out at you in a "to" or "from" position. You are powerless to resist; if THAT GUY's there, it's gonna be a good thread...

All of us have our own "favorites" among the many colorful souls who congregate at this fine website. They could be someone you disagree totally with, agree completely with, or somewhere in between. They might be a fount of useful information, links, and facts. Our favorite might be devastating at the art of debate; demolishing opponents in truly unique style, or he might be just plain nuttier than squirrel dung, but fun nonetheless.

Perhaps your favorite FReeper has a way with words; an excellent writer. Maybe they are someone highly experienced in a particular field, with knowledge that many do not posess. Maybe they're dumber than a bag of hammers.

Point is, no matter what the reason, our "favorite FReepers"' handle attached to a thread makes it all the more interesting to us; it guarantees a wild ride or sublime pleasure in the reading and learning. It may also guarantee an increase in blood pressure and indigestion, but one thing's for sure...that thread HE's on is gonna get a hit or two, and it won't be boring.

I've got more than a few of my own, and I'm sure all of you do as well. WHO'S YOURS?????????????????

[Howlin]

Thank you very much.

Hi, (((Nully)))!

[null and void]

Hiya!

[Pippin]

This is a fun thread :O)

[Howlin]

Those are your friends?

Well, no wonder you're such a good guy!

I want to add one more: LEADPENNY.

I have spent many a breaking news story with that guy and when I'm cracking up, he's as steady as a rock; and always has the facts at hand. It's been a pleasure to share those moments, good and bad, with him.

And for what it's worth, I feel the same way about the rest of you all.

Why AP, you know that all of us FReepers at Paltalk do! Where would we be without you and Hosepipe, our very own Duke of URL!!!!!!

My favorite FReepers list is summed up in one word(Well, more thatn one) ALL WHO POST AND LURK ON FREEREPUBLIC.

Yes, I agree (with the exception of maybe one or two).

Happy Easter to you and your family.

My God - if I started putting names on a list like that, I know I'd forget someone. Of course everyone on both my ping lists; fellow bloggers; my fellow vikings; all you kind folks who sent me well-wishes when I lost my grandmother over the winter; and even THEN I would miss people.

There are some folks on "The Other Site" whom I would count among my favorites as well.

The post earlier that compared the site to a small town came closest to the truth. FR is a small town, with all of the various and sundry establishments of such, from local restaurants (and our own resident gourmet -- Hi Carlo!) to churches of several different denominations to sports arenas (even a "wrestling ring" -- hi guys!) to libraries (Atomic Punk's and HAL9000's list immediatly come to mind) and other stuff.

It's a town that I'm proud to live in, and proud and pleased to have family, friends & neighbors as wonderful as all'o'y'all!

This is not the first list of this type; while my name never shows up, I have also never read a post of yours- there's tons of people on here.

[stand watie]

WELL SAID!

[leadpenny]

Thanks for posting that. You typed it just the way I gave it to you in the FReep Mail. Where do I send the $10 we agreed on?

You're too kind, Howlin. Hope you have a wonderful and peace-filled Easter.

[Pippin]

Same to you!

HAPPY EASTER!

[Tribune7]

And thank you both for your excellent ping lists.

[Oschisms]

Aw, shucks. Thanks for the compliment. You're pretty cool yourself.

I can't make a list, cause I'll leave someone out by accident.

[WKB]

Baby, you CAN'T do any better than that!



At last I get a vote thanks

[Victoria Delsoul]

No, I don't. Sorry.

Although there was nothing quiet about sneakypete - the quiet professional - he always spoke his mind and stood his own ground. I respect that and wish him the best.

[stand watie]
