Origins of Free Republic
Self

Posted on 01/31/2007 7:17:49 PM PST by festus

So how far back does the Free Republic archive articles and how can I go back and find some of the first threads that started the whole thing off ?

It struck me I've hung out for a while and it was well established when I joined.

Be fun to see what we were focused on day one. For me anyway.

Someone died that we always argued with and we were crushed? I can't recall. I have a glimmer of recollection, but that's it. Old Bill?

There was a guy with the name "Harry" or some such, who died, suddenly.

What happened to him? I've wondered about that often. He liked to be my nemesis, it almost killed him when we were on the same side in the Trent Lott fiasco. (g)

I sounds like folks with web tv had problems.

Yes, but FR did as well. Copyright infringement lawsuits and early server and/or software problems, as I understand it.

Ain't that the truth. Now my MAJOR nemesis...

Not exactly my nemesis, but I remember TLBSHOW's little mark, "USE THE GIFT!" It sort of annoyed me that I never knew what the hell he was talking about, but it's just as well.

Ahh. I thought he started that as some kind of Anti FR site.

I lurked there a couple times and quickly became bored

No, it was another Harry. He died of alcoholism I think. But he posted up to just about the day he died - alone. Quite sad really.

It was a young guy.

And for some reason, I think Nittany Lion knows who I am talking about. He had a funny LONG freeper name.

But I remember he died and we were so shocked.

Yes. And he had a theory about every plane crash, but demonstrated no knowledge of aviation.
