“I signed up 2 months after JimRob.”
So you believe that Jim Robertson “signed up” 2 months before you? This shows an appalling lack of knowledge about the history of Free Republic. Anyone who has been a member since the early days knows for sure from this statement that you are a fraud.
His signup date was in November 1997 IIRC, mine was in January1998.
Before that he seems to have operated on AOL or keelynet or a bbs back in the days of dialup.
