OMG nopardons! Do I ever remember her. She and I had some knock-down drag-out fights.

[Xenalyte]

Didn’t he have at least one incarnation as Batjack?

[Xenalyte]

And for the record, I apologize. I had no idea my (allegedly innocuous) reply would spark this many totally-not-what-you-wanted-to-know posts.

“We who remain...”
Kinda needed it.

[IronJack]

Don't know. But I do remember OWK. And Don Morgan. And ClintonsALiar (who still posts occasionally, I believe). And Mike Gallutia. And JENX. And dixiesass. And that chat room we had for a while (don't recall the name but it was a nightly deal). And FRRadio at CPAC. The fun interviews Shrew and I did. The Horowitz town hall. Harry Browne and Howard Phillips. Alan Keyes. The abortive Free Republic Network. The LA Slimes lawsuit. The Teamster mugging in Philly. Abner and the flag balloon. The cruises.

Nostalgia ...

Quidnunc? What now? in latin; a busybody, a nosy person.

Quidam; cant remember exactly; “A something, someone?”
A poster who would start a post with a cryptic comment and assertion that he or she had inside knowledge of something, usually something relating to the Clinton impeachment or Monica, something like that. Quidam would get the thread going and abandon it, presumably watching the comments of posters eager for inside information. The posters became, in effect, the busybodies, the quidnuncs.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Quidam played his audience well. Knew what they wanted, strung them along. Still, I enjoyed Quidam’s posts.

I miss MadIvan, who was an expert on British politics. Went off during the RINO purge in 2007.

Eschoir,..I was trying to remember the name, but couldn’t put the letters together. Same league as Harvey Milk, Adolf and Benito Mussolini. Infamous in the recall.

[Cvengr]

Of course who can forget Michael Rivera?/GeraldoRivera (I guess I can)

“I remember accidentally opening Mia T threads on a slow dialup connection.”
LOL;)
Whatever happened to her?

[Richard Kimball]

You reminded me of one of my more embarrassing moments on FR. A guy signed up as Richard Kimble. I freepmailed him and asked him to change his handle so people wouldn't confuse us. He tried, and got banned for using multiple aliases.

I started a thread campaign to get him back on. Made a complete jerk of myself, but he did get another handle and got on.

[Richard Kimball]

ZOMG Mia T threads were the bane of my existence. They seemed to exist solely to validate her HTML lessons.

Dittos. Ugliest posts in the world, too, and took an hour to load.

[Petruchio]

When I changed from citizenX to Mr_Magoo I announced it by saying that citizenX could not post anymore because of his penchant for using BOLD TYPE he ran out of his allotment of pixels. LOL!

[Richard Kimball]

I lurked for 2 years before I joined because the Class of 1998 scared the bejeezus out of me....

Us? Scary? I don't believe it.

You just don't understand us. What we got heah, is a failuh to communcate.

[WVNan]

Wow! I can’t believe this nostalgia thread is still going. Hi Connie! Those days seem long ago and far away don’t they? How did we let the world get in such a mess anyway? I miss the old clinton days, when all the crooks in the White House were mostly American crooks.

[WVNan]

Hi Darks! I can’t believe all the old friends I’m seeing on this thread. Where are you guys hiding?

[WVNan]

Hi Abner. For the past two years I’ve also been pretty much in lurker mode. Too much reading to catch up on to post comments.

[WVNan]

Oh my, I had almost forgotten Registered. I still have a poster that he designed. Remember the one of Algore in the straight jacket?
