Oh, I used to take this place quite seriously.
Then one time last year I posted a roughly 500 word essay on the workings of the election process in a Constitutional Republic which got 26 replies, half of which were mine, thanking the other FReepers for reading and commenting.
So just for the heck of it, I posted an article about a woman in Michigan who claimed to be feeding Bigfoot with blueberry bagels. That thread ran to 90 responses.
Suddenly the true nature of the Forum became apparent.
Besides which, my natural attitude (at least according to my ex-wives) is one of cavalier wisecrackerey.
Didn’t you know that this was a forum of failed wouldbe hasbeen writers for the late great Johnny Carson show?
