I'm always amazed that people really don't get it. I have a theory that goes that after about the first 10,000 FReepers or so signed on, the "first users," the rest were just "wannabes" and the average I.Q. of the "composite FReeper" has been decreasing slowly and steadily ever since.

That's not fair. Just because we are ignorant, doesn't mean we are stupid, just uninformed.
I'm striving to be a real FReeper and my mama always said, "Imitation is the best form of flattery."

Are you sure it wasn't everybody after the first 9139 FReepers? :^)

That's ridiculous. What's there to get? It's a freaking forum site, don't take yourself so seriously. Wannabes? I don't think Mr/Mrs FReeper 10,001 or Mr/Mrs FReeper 100,000 are any less passionate about their conservatism or their love for our great country. To call these people wannabes, or newbies or "behind the curve" is simply devisive. Rather than spewing holier-than-thou crap about how the eliteist first 10,000 FReepers are the die hard "real" FReepers, perhaps you should be thankful that there are others out there in the community that have a similar ideology and want to share their views. Tearing these folks down because they haven't spent the entire morning surfing through FR snippets about the next cholera-ridden hell-hole that hates us or the loudest mis-guided leftist politico isn't terribly productive. Our strength comes from unity and respect for each other and the conservative ethos. IMHO

So what was the cut-off date for the 10,000th? Did I make it? lol

Actually, I take the other point of view - the more freepers we get, the less of a dropoff you cause in the average IQ here.

[showme_the_Glory]

Maybe the first 8000?

And you, having just slipped in under that 10,000 line, are the obvious exception to your own rule, from what I've seen of your posts.
