I'll pile on. His "pay somebody" comment was mega-stupid unless he's going to cut a big fat check.

As I understand it, FR no longer publishs the EXACT number of "Articles and Replies posted" every day, but when they USED to...

(For the most recent statistics, click HERE: www.freerepublic.com/perl/weekday-report?r=ar)

Per DAY.

How many paid professional moderators would it take to screen all of THOSE comments?
