Thank you, all, for your valued contributions to Free Republic!!
Honored to call myself a member and cannot begin to express my appreciation for this amazing learning/educational site, no home, for conservatives.....THE BEST conservative site, bar none.
Enjoyed reading and remembering FR history and look forward to Kristinn’s write up/coverage, of FR, as well.
May God continue to bless JimRob and Free Republic!!
Hey Jane, thanks for the note.
In the article at the top of this thread, I am described as
a driving force behind the creation of Free Republic.
Jim, John, and I are mentioned. Jim and John should have
been.
I have not been Jim’s business partner at any time, and it
is kind of embarrassing to get credit where credit is not
due.
I have known Jim since the early to mid 90s when we met
and participated on AOL’s White Water Bulletin Board.
Jim wanted to create an entity like F. R., and he and
John set out to do so. I do not deserve even an
honorable mention, and to let this stand, would be
dishonorable for me.
LS probably heard this through the grapevine, but if so
it was like the old game, “Post Office” grapevine.
I’m sure it was an honest telling, with no ill intent.
Somehow I missed this thread originally and so am late to the party. As I read I expected, once caught up, to express my deep appreciation for twenty-two-plus years of stimulation, education and enjoyment--until I saw your comments. They represent exactly my feelings. Well done and thank you! (There is a vanishingly small possibility in the 150 posts I still have to read that someone will top yours, but I'll just ignore it.)
