Introduction to FR

[BillTilghman]

I have been a lurker here for a while now. You may see me as a newbie to FR but I am no newcomer to conservativism. I am quiet in nature and will not post often. But, If I have something to contribute I may speak out. I am honored to be a part of this establishment. Thank you.

Something just broke on the main list of articles, somehow related to this thread.

Ya know I ‘ ve been lurkin’ for 8 years until i signed up yesterday .

[max americana]

How come the other ‘NEWBIE’ “9.3x62mm” has the very SAME paragraph of introduction about the KC Star. Did you register twice?

[RegulatorCountry]

During those years of lurking, did you not notice that “newbies” making a vanity post, as their very first post, are viewed as highly suspect? Not the best way to introduce yourself to FR.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

What is it with vanities and newbies?

[DieHard the Hunter]

Welcome to the FRee Republic. May your sojourn with us be long and enjoyable.

[tsmith130]

I saw that too. Very weird.

[nodumbblonde]

Welcome!

[anniegetyourgun]

Lurking takes great restraint....something I couldn't do. I think I joined FR after 10 minutes of reading 2-3 threads!

Welcome FReeper.

If you lurked for the time you claim, you'd know about vanities.

[Rocko]

I saw that, but when you click into the other thread the text is different. A bug from last night?

[tsmith130]

Actually, the other post by 9.3x62mm, had a different paragraph a few minutes ago (it was about a 10 page tribute to Obama in the KC Star) then it changed to the paragraph you see here. Also, you can’t post on the other thread...nothing to click on to ‘reply’.

[scott7278]

Apart from the first-post vanity, it seems like there was an error with the 9.3x62mm post. I clicked on it, and the body of the thread didn’t match what was listed.

Very odd.

[Inyo-Mono]

I wonder how many Freepers know who the real Bill Tilghman was?

[rabidralph]

Welcome to FR.

B-O welcomes you, too.

I'm Sampleman's brother

That's a coincidence. My brother is this guy:

This one may be a gunslinger, also. We are being infested with the workerbees sent to destroy conseravtism in the Republican party, albeit a drindling light anyway. The third party workerbees, and dem party assassins are not resting on their messiah’s laurels.

[tsmith130]

I didn't...so I googled him. Interesting guy. Good handle to pick.

Welcome aboard!

[tsmith130]

Can we at least wait until new posters do or say something to indicate they are here to destroy conservatism. Ok, so his first post is a vanity. OMG! THE SKY IS FALLING!

You want to include more people into conservativism or send them away because they had the audacity to post a vanity on Free Republic?

[humblegunner]

You’re a n00bie.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Posting an article and posting a vanity are two separate matters. Articles are more than welcome.

[Tijeras_Slim]

An A$$ kicking lawman. Carried a nickleplated S&W 2nd Model HE in .44 Special if I recall.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Been around since May 1998. You’re the newbie.

That's not a bug, it's a feature.

[tsmith130]

I had no idea Bill Gates was a moderator here!

[zwerni]

LOL

Nice entrance. Well done. Bit of advice... speak out loud.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

LOL!

[greeneyes]

Welcome.

[martin_fierro]

What a lousy thing to do to a magnificent corpse flower.

[humblegunner]

Been around since May 1998.

A lot of n00bs have an "old-timer sob story" to go with their n00bie sign-on date.

I've been a member since 1849 but the server crash deleted my log in.

[rabidralph]

A Macanudo will fix that stench.

[wolfcreek]

I’m tired of saying *welcome* and trying to screen all the new FReepers.

Could ya’ll get a list together where I can do it all at once?

[Hot Tabasco]

I ‘ ve been lurkin’ for 8 years until i signed up yesterday

That's just plain stupid! You become Vested in the FR pension plan after 5 years of registration and can start drawing that pension with full benefits at age 60 if you have a minimum of 10 years.

You threw away 8 years of pension benefits only because you were afraid to sign up............Sheesh!

[TADSLOS]

You threw away 8 years of pension benefits only because you were afraid to sign up............Sheesh!

Not to mention a primo reserved parking spot in the front two rows.

[MHGinTN]

But it's the bathroom privileges the noobie has eschewed which really expose the agenda. :^)

[A_Tradition_Continues]

No old-timer sob story....Unlike your lie stated at the end of your post, I state the truth, newbie.

As a software developer I completely understand. I assume you saw what I was referring to? I realize now that my post was rather... devoid of information.

[grellis]

I've been thinking of changing my screenname for a while, but after reading the slings and arrows shooting in your direction, I shall remain sincerely yours,
