Jean S said in another thread:
And to reiterate, this is not an attempt to collect a list of “Alpha Freepers” what ever the hell that means.
***The term was once the first thing defined in the lexicon, but batter removed it from the 2008 lexicon... I wonder why?

Fifth Edition of The Lexicon of FreeRepublic, culled from the original thread and subsequent editions. Thanks to the many Freepers who contributed!

Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

I think I know what happened. When I posted the 2008 Lexicon I had to change some headings and add in some new entries above "Alpha Freeper". I'm betting I screwed up and, unknowingly, had "Alpha Freeper" selected when I hit the delete button and replaced the old text.

Phew. I have restored the entry on my profile page and will be more careful next time.
