"I've seen this site go through lots of changes lately and the "rats" thing is just the latest craze sweeping FR."LOL...LATEST?? HELLO...this is the year 2002! I've been around this forum only for about four years...and the RATS thing has been around just as long...it got really popular at the beginning of the 2000 presidential almost-fiasco. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I've been lurking here for years and only registered here after qwest screwed up the usenet servers by handing them over to MSN.
Of course the "rats" thing dates back to the 2000 campaign ad but ever since Todd posted his thread where Jim said "the rats are evil", it been running rampant. Oh sure, there are guys like Todd who scream about the "rats" all the time but now it's pretty much the norm these days.
You may like all the group think that's going on around here but I don't. I think it dilutes FR greatly and if you look around you'll see that lots of intelligent posters are leaving FR behind.
