No. I don't make comments on vanity posts. There was a time when vanities were run out of town on a rail. FreeRepublic has changed and vanities proliferate to the detriment to the elements that made FreeRepublic great.
A good thread starts with posting an article or some content found on the internet, either in full or through a link according to the rules. The poster makes an initial comment, preferably with a full sentence or paragraph and a discussion ensues.
FreeRepubic is great because of these full and robust threads, many of them have become legend, but vanities with a twitter style sentence fragment responses are not legends and never will be. I won't play.

Things that make you go “Hmmmmm....”
