The purpose of this thread wasn't to put the fossils on a higher plane than later registrants. Actually, I'm surprised every day how FR has somehow remained true to it's original identity. Back when, we had posters like Bill Barclay and Ed Millar who would post fiery rhetoric, Schultz, Scotsman and Gallutia would come in a offer temperate analysis.

We didn't need mods, we had Deb. Most posters would be suitably chastened if they were admonished by Schultz or Gallutia on getting something wrong, but nobody and I mean nobody wanted to be taken down by Deb. Got your facts wrong? Haven't properly checked your sources? You would get sliced and diced and laid out for all to see.

The "rules" the FR game were laid down long ago by leaders who wanted to see this site become something more than a chat line.

Thank God for them.

Who, me? (shining up the "halo of innocence" and whistling nonchalantly)
