I have been here 12 years. Even now I would not dream of telling someone from 98 or 99 what FR is and is not.

Nothing personal. I am only remarking on how things have changed. I can remember how intimidating it was in my early days, make that years. Not only did I have to worry about posting among those who actually knew what they were talking about, I had to worry about closing my tags.

To: Protect the Bill of Rights
Not only did I have to worry about posting among those who actually knew what they were talking about, I had to worry about closing my tags.
Yes, those were the good old days. I remember many of now famous bloggers who used to be members. That was before the night of the longknives whittled the crowd. I remember a whole thread would be stuck in Bold, Italics, and other very interesting HTML modes that angered us at the time. Then someone would come along and post a comment followed by a closing for the tag of HTML code to fix it.

We used to have whole threads of HTML help from various knowledgeable freepers. I cut my HTML teeth on Free Republic. To this day I still use the many tips and advice I gleaned.
