Thanks for the welcome. I've been reading FR for years, but just created a login yesterday to break the news about the Kilimanjaro landslide. FR was the first American media source for that story. By the way, I am technical and I have a cached snapshot of the ABC page, so they cannot repudiate it.
Welcome to Free Republic...and if you can find good "catches" like this one...you will be a great new asset!!
Welcome, friend.
