Did you only start using this account in 2009?
I came to Drudge on January 17, 1998 when the Clinton scandal hit and that is where I found the link to FreeRepublic and something called Lucianne.com. I got the courage to actually post something that July and have had a severe addiction ever since. I actually think the Class of 99 and up is better than the Class of 98 (although I would never admit it publicly)because shortly after I signed up there was a holy war between us and Drudge and he took down the link. That meant those that came on after were probably referrals from current members and a higher quality member. Those that came on like me, through Drudge were just very lucky and may never have found it otherwise so tell your friends.
