[Tax Government]

Been here for only one week, made 3 posts,and feel like I have gained a lifetime of knowledge already. I hate to admit it, but I am a recovering dem.,and a new Repub.,so this is my kind of place. No place better to find out what's really going on.

There are many benefits to being part of this FR community:

1) Get unfiltered news;

2) Spread the alarm when occasion calls for it;

3) Fight the good fight, for things you care about. Get feedback;

4) Make friends;

5) Give the world's intelligence agencies and democrat lurkers a piece of your mind;

6) Get your home page indexed by Google;

7) Learn basic HTML.

But there's something else...

8) FR teaches you to communicate effectively in writing, and to become a better advocate for conservative ideas. After many posts, you will learn to gauge how people will react to you. You will be flamed, complemented, ignored, laughed at...the works. After a while, your style will change and probably for the better.

Is being able to reach out of the screen and shake someone by the lapels important? YES, for many good reasons. Please take the opportunity to post, not just lurk. Your writing style will change, I promise.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Your writing style will change, I promise. Has anyone else experienced this?

Seriously? Yes. Absolutely.

I will definitely testify to a change in writing style.
Now, I'm not saying it was for the better with me :-), but I've seen many posters grow and grow and grow.......
It brings out the best and the worst in us. There is not much middle ground left here.
