To: Edgerunner; Mr. Brightside

Thanks. In the future I will do so.

I found this website about 5 or 6 months ago. I had no idea how much news I was missing before then. The first thing I do in the am after fixing a cup of coffee is read FR. The last thing before retiring at night, I read FR.

While listening to Rush I find he gets his show prep here as almost as soon as something is posted, he reads it on the air. Same thing for Fox news.

I am aware from my months of lurking of ZOTS, Viking Kitties and DU trolls...hence because I am a new member I am suspect and I am only allowed to post one item every 24 hours and it has to go through mods first. That sometimes takes an hour or more and by then topic has already been posted, so it appears I have made a duplicate post without searching.

Also any reply I make to a thread has to be read by a moderator and approved first. While I can understand the need for this and have no problem with it my question is how long am I going to be on probation? :)

***Bump. I didn’t know that’s how things were for newbies. Welcome to FR. That’s something that they didn’t even say when I joined... ;-)

I suppose if I were in your position I’d be putting down the time that I actually posted the comment, with an accompanying newbie disclaimer like you just posted. Then other freepers would know. Thanks for posting this information, there might be others who were not aware of it like myself.

Welcome to FR!

Don’t be afraid of the ZOTS, Viking Kitties or even the DU trolls.

Fear the Moose. And “Corn Cat.”

From what you posted I think you’re going to be a welcome addition here!
