Since you sent your reply to several people, I'm not sure if you're addressing it to me. If so, did I ask a question & what are vanity posts?

Oh yeah, I'm addressing you, newbie. Maybe I should'nt have used the word "question." Here are your very words:

My point, if I ever get to it, is that on tonight's O'Reilly Factor there'll be a segment on which will include discussions of groups such as Peaceful Tomorrows, The Tides Foundation, etc.

I still see no real "point" there. What IS your point? And why so many vanity posts? Haven't you read the forum rules, posted on the opening page?

For your edification, from the Posting Guidelines:

Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
