Appreciate the thread.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I loved Breitbart.
Only in a "guy hug" way, I hope. {;^)
No, seriously, so did I. His die hard spirit was infectious and endearing to me.

He kind of personalized what it means (or what it used to mean) to be a FReeper.
You're even more old school FR than I am. You helped shape FR, IMO! I still remember when I first got here and looking forward to reading your replies as you and many others had views and opinions I highly valued. I'm so attached to the past myself, in some ways, that I've still got old @Uncle Bill stuff forever etched in my brain. (I still don't know what ever happened with him getting banned)
Things change, as they always do, and old guys like us have to accommodate a little and yet still try to affect that which is around us as we can. I'm inspired by folks all the time around here. Look at Travis McGee's project. I didn't spend a lot of time on the threads even though I kept up with it, but it rocked my socks off!

We do dishonor to those who have gone before us if we don't keep up and make current that old spirit you love so well. When I'm six feet under I'll give up. (and as long as the Mods don't boot me out {;^) )

Stay safe old FRiend.

I remember Uncle Bill as well as a number of others that are no longer here.

FR is not the same place it once was.

There needs to be a trigger that angers and motivates people to hit the streets.

The original one was His Slickness and the intern. Remember those days?
