The only thing I will acknowledge is that math must've been one of your worst subjects.
However, if you look at the Mark Levin or Rush Limbaugh thread, you will see dozens of people at a minimum posting every day, even when some lousy guest host is filling in.
The number of posters only tell me that if Savage promoted FreeRepublic the way Levin and Limbaugh have, his thread numbers would be right there with Levin and Limbaugh.
I have a degree in Engineering, but that is not required to count 3 guys on a thread. 1st grade math is required though.
That won't happen because Savage wants to remain independent, which is fine but he shouldn't complain when the "popular" crowd don't leap on their white horses to his rescue. If you want to play alone, fight alone.
