Now I'm happy to say that I have absolutely no intent of ever shutting down Free Republic. The only reason that was in my title was because of the AFers claim. . .

I also want to thank all of you who have posted your supporting comments. I'd like to reply to all of them, but looks like the count is now running to 2,000 and beyond and there is no way that I can respond to each one individually. I thank each and every one of you and I thank God that you are on our team.

Yea! I knew that MUST have been wrong yesterday! !

Hmm?? Shouldn't that be MFers??? ;-)

Thank you, Jim, for all that you do. I have learned so much from this site, and even on the "fraud" thread.

Thanks for the ping, TGYC. I couldn't sleep last night, so your ping was the first thing I saw this morning. What a relief!!

Thanks for the ping Tonkin!

Jim, I spent alot of time reading that other thread, waiting for some real proof of the fraud they accuse you of. Even after reading what I missed last night, I haven't seen any. I don't know how you can be so patient sometimes. You start a site, bring alot of foks together, it grows beyond your wildest expectations, and so do the attacks on you. I would've thrown in the towel a long time ago. I'm so glad you didn't. I'm in for the long haul too.

Best Wishes
