Welcome to FR.

I'm sorry, I'll stop posting comments and articles until I get the hang of this place...

Ha, 1.2 gig hard drives for FR storage? That’s what I had in the box I used back then. Cost $289+tax at Best Buy. After that, I learned to wait 6 months after the bottom fell out of the mem market. I bought a 8 mb 72 pin chip for $182 and right after you could have bought it for $12. No comment, I still feel the burn...as I bought 2.

My greatest regret was not signing up in 1998 when FReepers were in Florida heckling Al Gore but I read every post. I got the link from Rush Limbaugh...

Talk about stepping back in a time warp! And the lazy people who wouldn’t turn off their font formatting. LOL!

John updating the software to close all HTML tags was a big improvement—maybe 2002 or so? Anyone newer than that cannot imagine what it looked like to see dozens of posts all in italic or bold or underlined or all three.

He actually challenged us to try to make the HTML make a thread unusable.

I am the only one who was able to beat him.

I used < P>& nbsp about a zillion times.

Broke the thread. :)

For a long time he was posting on Liberty Forum (I think that was what it was called, if not it was something close to that, it was a libertarian spin off with many banned Freepers).

I tried to find it the other day because another Freeper was asking me a question pertaining to it and I couldn't find it.

Anyhow that was quite some time ago. He was as belligerent over there as here.

If you’re looking for special dispensation, go see the Rage Monkey. ;-)
