[Madame Dufarge]

As a newcomer I tend to assume that anybody with a '98 signup date is a battle hardened proven conservative Freeper.

There was a period during which the disrupters who signed up in '98 were so active that I got into the habit of checking the "Member Since" dates of particularly egregious posters.

The majority of them had '98 signup dates.
