How did you get my name to display my start date?

Uh, by putting my cursor on it?

Good post. Things are always spiraling upward, and nobody can ever really see where they are ultimately going.

I have to admit that in recent years, I have sometimes felt alienated from the young people today – especially the females. But I’ve also met many solid, down-to-Earth ones.

The older generation has complained about the younger throughout human history; my favorite quotes in this vein are from Socrates and from the ancient Egyptian graffitti purportedly found by Napolean (and which may both be apocryphal), suggesting that the younger generation are going to the dogs:

Either you did not understand my post or you are being flippant. I tried for a half hour to achieve your accomplishment on various posts... a wasted half hour except on your posting of my name. If your intent was to be 'cute', congratulations, it worked. Thank you.

Well, I guess I’m late to this, but your name is at the end of every post you...post, right before your sig., if you have one. Putting one’s cursor over it displays the sign-up date.

Bob Ireland: 1997-11-29

Elsie: 1998-10-03

Jamestown1630: 2014-10-21

Right now I am on my tablet, but perhaps you are right on a desktop; of course that info is available by simply clicking on the poster's name.

The real issue is that the point of the original discussion was a number ranking of posters in order of when they started on FR. The dates mentioned here are registration dates, which started some time after FR was initiated. Those number rankings were apparently discontinued some time ago. The registration dates are probably roughly indicative of the order of joining FR, less so with us earliest posters.

FR was started by JimRob after a falling out with the older Whitewater Bulletin Board. Jim's instincts proved fabulously successful. FR is a player, or will be until the tyrants find a way to de-platform it.

Well; I wasn't trying to be flippant, so it must be the first.
 
 
When I place my cursor over your screen name I get your signup date.   
 
The HTML code for your screen name in this snippet  --->   15:00 PM by Bob Ireland (The Democrap <--- is:
 
<A title="Since 1997-11-29" style="TEXT-DECORATION: none; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: black" href="https://freerepublic.com/~bobireland/">
 
 
Placing my cursor on your screen name shows what the value of the varible TITLE contains: 1997-11-29
 
Actually CLICKING the left mouse button, while the cursor is still on your name, takes me to your home page.
 


I'm using a computer Windows 10 Google Chrome.

Perhaps your hardware reacts differently than mine.


(Heck; after all these years, the hardware I was born with sure doesn't act the way it used to!!)

Those number rankings were apparently discontinued some time ago.

It's obvious that our signup dates are still in the database; so JR could snatch all our names and dates and sort them in EXCEL.

Of course; without a signup_TIME we'd only be able to guess what order the folks on say - June 6, 2011 - signed up, but at least there'd be a ranking of sorts.

We could then belong to a special group, like THESE guys!

I have to say that I am sorry. I was in considerable pain yesterday and trying to put the best face on it for Easter. I got the two different topics mixed up. I was just curious about those old number rankings; not really important.

Certainly. I’m all for everybody saying what they will, and everybody has the right to walk away if they don’t like it.

I believe you can swing your fist to one inch from my nose.

When a busybody, like that person, busts in on a conversation not directed or shared with that person, and THEY say THEY are going to punch ME, I will take their nose, their eyes, and their ears, since they don’t know what to do with them!

I will not jump in a conversation, unwanted, ‘cause I need to see who’s calling me to a delicious dinner!!

Trump didn’t stand a chance of overthrowing the election coup against such opposition.

Fixed it.

You’ve nothing to be sorry for.

Things were just a bit confusing and your responses were not out of line.
