What's it like to be a freeper with a 100,000+ sign on number?

Thank you very kindly Indy. I've never seen my name up in lights before and it's quite flattering.

If I might take one liberty with posting/topic protocols, could someone tell me why I find many "new posts to you" when I log in, but in fact none of the new posts are actually to me? They do all deal with the subject of my initial post, but no one has actually pinged me or posted to me.

Sorry if my going off topic is in bad form, but since it's a thread for newbies I thought maybe you veterans would cut me some slack on this one. I'm also not skilled in the art enough to begin a new thread asking this question, and this thread looks like the best place I can find to ask.

You're 96079. Relatively new, but a testament to the explosive growth of this forum. I'm guessing 50,000 have joined since you have.

Yes, I'm a suspicious character, I'll grant you that. I went over to the evolution thread and survived. Next I'm going to tackle the Calvin threads. Then I'll be number zero-babble.

I keep posting even though I don't get responses.

Been there, done that.

I peeked at your profile and saw this:

I am a twenty year Air Force vet(1970-1990). My first tour of duty was in Vietnam(Nov 70-Nov 71). Am now working for the US Army in Seoul, Korea. Have been in/around the US military my entire adult life. Am a lifelong Republican and an admirer of Ronald Reagan. I named my second son Ronald as he was born on February 6, 1984.
I, like so many of my fellow vets, experienced the trauma(probably more) after returning from Vietnam than while serving. John Kerry was traitorous during and following the Vietnam war. He has never recanted his activities and today chooses to depict himself as "war hero".
I am not very internet savvy, but thoroughly enjoy this site and most of the opinions expressed here.

Thank you for your service! Unlike sKerry, you are a true hero! So glad you signed up here.

I'm posting from Korea,

Oh! That explains. You're probably on with the USA Night Owls and Insomniacs.

See post 189. I had better leave this thread before I get in real trouble.

I think I've run across your name a time or two. I may not have posted on those threads much, but I read them. I post a lot on the Terri Schiavo threads. Come on over to them anytime if you want to be up on the latest with Terri.

Got some exposure on my profile there huh? I work with true heroes every day. Kerry is anything but a hero. I hope that man is discovered for just what he is; a lying, traiterous, scumbag.

Perhaps you are a member of a ping list, and when the list of recipients gets so long not all the names in that list appear in a post . . .

(In fact, if you see three dots " ... " at the end of the "To" listing, then not all names are shown.)

"I've been here since May and have often found it difficult to get responses/feedback from most of my posts. Seems as though there are a lot of "mini groups" that talk back and forth. Am confident that my inputs are worthy, but often get discouraged. Just my 2 cents."

The person who said "don't sweat it" is on the right track. We all got together and I was selected to tell you that it is your deoderant. :-)

Do you mean my Ban 5 day roll on doesn't actually work for 5 whole days?

Hahahaha!!!! Deodorants? We don't need no stinkin' deodorants!!!
