I want to compliment these 3 freepers not only for their great added value to threads they post and reply to.

Then I want to compliment them for being the great indexers of what is posted on Free Republic. That enables those of who are deficient in Indexing skills to find data and great posts.

Well, I have the same appreciation of you! Thank you very much.

The posters and threaders are wonderful here, the only site on the web I know with such activity, thought, advocacy, and dissent. There are so many I could specifically mention - my first post-lurking phase friends, you, a_Turk, Utah Girl, etc. RaceBannon out there somewhwere with a superthread of stories and links. Too many too mention. So I'll limit further kudos to a newer poster: Swarthyguy. Thanks for your threads and posts.

Thanks too to those quieter types who send me mail!
