The only reason you're here is because of the popularity of this site, made that way by the "old-timers" whose postings drove the talk-radio agenda for years before you showed up.

I, personally, fell onto this site with no prior knowledge of FR. Also, are you suggesting anyone new has not contributed to make FR a popular site that it is today? Our donations mean nothing?

Get over yourself if you are an oldie but goodie. That's fair and balanced right? ;)

I, personally, fell onto this site with no prior knowledge of FR.

I found this site from the short-lived Newsmax forum. Newsmax was too yellow for me, and the forum was too crude. If that forum had survived, it would have been the right-counterpart to DU, not FR.

Also, are you suggesting anyone new has not contributed to make FR a popular site that it is today? Our donations mean nothing?

First, after three years you're not new. Second, as with most things, a critical mass emerges. The rate of growth slows, the marginal utility reduces, etc.

I joined in 2000, right after the election. Even back then, my posts were tagged with my start date by people who joined in 1997-1998. All I'm saying is that it takes time to build a reputation, and it takes a reputation to "earn" leeway.

LOL, I hope you checked to see if the person you replied to was a veteran on the site.
