I’m a retread and first joined in early 1998. I recently returned from overseas and forgot my password (getting older is no fun). Thank you for the warm welcome, even though it is a welcome back. I usually get “hello newbie” which is annoying.

You are right about the old days. I noticed a lot more was tolerated after 9/11 when the Duke Nukem crowd started going wild on here. Now, after my absence of a couple of years, I discover tinfoilers may outnumber the nuke Mecca gang! I don’t want to see all speculation shot down, but if this is allowed to go too far too often, the reputation of the site will suffer. And I do love FR!

And my eyes will get bleary from skipping over tinfoil posts while trying to keep up with a thread, too.

I’m still in the process of coming to terms with how bad it really is, so I defer to your assessment. Your posts have been solid and rational, your patience monumental. I’m impressed.

WELCOME BACK !

I've been reading FR since '97 and joined almost a year later.

Those of us who know what FR used to be like, are concerned by what is now being allowed. You must be dizzy from the change. It's almost as if Eschoir and Arator and ASH ALERTS and A+Bert's "THE WALK ON THE MOON WAS A FAKE" threads were the norm, now.

Thank you for your kind words. :-)
