Topaz, since you originated this thread, I'm checking in with you. When I go out today for groceries, I'll send in my usual pitiful check.

What I will also do, however,is pull out the several bump lists I store "off-disc" and use those. Additionally, I will go back thru the self search and compile lists from there, no doubt irritating any number of people- but it needs doing, so I will do it.

Unless your check is for less than $1, it's not pitiful -- it's doing your fair share. Subsidizing freeploaders is a charitable act, not a moral imperative.

Neighbors, I apologize in advance if I flag you more than once- I'm pulling out old bump lists stored on floppies, and going thru old self-searches for names.

I also want to ask a favor- will you take a minute to flag at least 2 more FReepers, and ask them to flag another 2 and "pass this message on to 2 more?"

If you have a bump list, please use it- this is so important!

If we all pull together, we can get this matter settled even faster than the last time, and keep Free Republic a light shining in the media-sponsored darkness. John R.
