Did you mix up your hijacked accounts? You were posting with the one from 2002.
Sloppy work, comrade!
A FR Class of 2010 n00b like you wouldn't understand that in the beginning of Free Republic, there were more than a few of us posting with our real names.
As FR gained in recognition, that became dangerous to one's job and family.
I created this account and retired my original account [FR member number under 50].
I'll bet you don't even know how to find your member number...
