As we say goodbye to Dan Rather, let's remember who made it possible!

I was the only poster for a few months, but I kept sending my URL to search engines and trolled the news groups by reposting articles from the forum and eventually I picked up a few readers... and eventually some of the readers got the courage to try posting.

Like a dealer giving away "free samples". Give them a free "fix" and keep them coming back for more when they're addicted. Well, that anology isn't true. I can give up FReeping any time. Any time at all. Yes sir...(hitting "post" button multiple times under four different tabs in Firefox...)

More like people who should be in asylums somewhere, but,thanks to Geraldo Rivero, are walking the streets and playing with computers.

Grown people, I mean!

To some it's worse than re-giving.

To some it's worse than re-gurgitating. ;^)

Seen the post before and will look forward to seeing it posted again.

And for those of you who don't know...James Golden is the original (and I think the current) "BO SNERDLEY."

I contribute what I can. And I thank all those who can afford to contribute more than me and keep the board running.

This is from 1999, so I'm curious, what's "the rest of the story"?

That's because you only got here last month; the internet is filled with sites who repeatedly say just that. dakine was kind enough to post the truth, leaving out the vile things that are spread by people who have a grudge against this site.

BTW .. is that loser still posting to himself???

You're a history revisionist. Here's the real story:

IIRC, there were a few ringleaders of the "FR is ripping people off" stories. I think they all went over to L.P.

Consider this "the early years"...I'm sure there are more updated FAQs on/about FR...I just like posting this, because I'm nostalgic...

The rest of the story is that those people who set about to make Jim Robinson's personal finances their own business are no longer with us.

And we all live happyily ever after.
