yep, they're gone.
"Why are some people in such a hurry to Zot someone with an
honest question?"
It's the seductive and intoxicating power of the Zot.
Many a life have been ruined by it.
Even if it isnt in breaking a simple search will show it 99 times out of 100.
Often its the comments on the story too that I am looking for, to see how others percieve something that seems important.
yes, the keywords get read ;o)
I agree.
I see no reason for a zot.
Sometimes week old news is relevant to whatever's happened today. At any rate, if you have time why not get busy reading, watching, scanning news magazines, digests, foreign sources, and then post to your heart's content. The more the merrier, and we'll all enjoy.
Terri Schiavo died.
Actually, I'd say that the big difference is greater attention from the Sidebar Moderators. There used to be many more stories posted as Breaking News, and they would push the older stories off the bottom quicker. Now, I think the Moderators take a lot of stories off the sidebars that they judge to be less important or undeserving of that much focus. Stories they judge more important are left on the sidebar longer.
So there has been a change, I'd agree, from the way things were a few years ago or maybe even a year ago. For what it's worth, I think it's a positive change as far as the really important stories are concerned, because people can find them more easily if they haven't been here for a day or two. But it's less positive in that a lot of interesting newer stuff tends to get lost before people have a chance to see it.
You can't win 'em all. If you want to find all the news you just have to scroll through a few screens of stories to find anything you've missed.

Nothing wrong with Hollys lurking.
If it wasn't for FR Natalee Holloway would never have been rescued.... Oh, nevermind....
Party pooper.
Hi Holly.
I am very satisfied with FreeRepublic.com as my primary news source.
It is usually the first place I stop to check the latest news.

We are on thread 34. Each thread is usually no more
than 5,000 posts. There's a lot of news and research on
this forum.

Things will definitely improve when UAE takes over operational control of FR.
We all have our crosses to bear.
