I can't remember what brought me to Free Republic. I had been lurking for some time before I set up an account and made my first post. I don't post threads that often (I'm up to 5), but I have responded to several hundred (OK, 156 to be exact). I haven't posted much because it seems everything I want to bring to the attention of Freepers has already been posted. Do great minds think alike, or what?
