Really annoyed me that people are e-mailing Jim questioning what it costs to run this place. I don't see any of them putting up their own site, monitoring it day and night, constantly writing and re-writing the software to make sure it's the most cutting edge site on the web. I don't see them paying for the bandwidth, or standing up for the Constitution in the lawsuit with WP and LAT. I don't see them taking the risks that Jim has had to take just to make sure that we all have a place to come and learn, discuss, cuss, rant, reflect, inspire, uplift, laugh, cry and do all the other things that Freepers do here daily.
FreeRepublic is unique. The site reflects those of us who come here and support it. And I'm darned proud to support it.
When it comes from those pretending to care and trying to make an issue out of nothing, then it becomes a pia!
Every thon we have a couple of these creeps, that slime out of their ooze to pretend to be such great noble people with noble questions.
They have two goals. The first here was to slime Jim. The second is to deter people from contributing.
The creep that Jim referred to is truly pathetic and needs a life besides monitoring Free Republic and trying to report Jim for nothing. Apparently there are several whose only life is to monitor FR and try to slime Jim and hurt FR!
Good to hear from you as usual.
