Sorry, short-term memory loss thing. Just know that as Edna St. Vincent Millary so aptly put it, "summer sang in me a little while ... that in me sings no more."

Thanks Jim. I feel right at home here.

Starr: "Foster Suicide"

The Most Dangerous Man in Washington

Behind the scenes with Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth Starr -- the quiet but deeply ambitious lawyer who's on the trail of the 'Clinton scandals'

Starr has resolved one matter: the Foster suicide. NEWSWEEK has learned that Starr has decided, after an exhaustive examination of the forensic evidence, that the White House lawyer in fact shot himself at Fort Marcy Park, Va. That is the same conclusion reached by the Park Police and by Robert B. Fiske Jr., Starr's predecessor as the Whitewater special prosecutor.

At this time in 1996, I was strictly using Juno Mail. The software itself was on a single 3.5 inch floppy disk, and Juno encouraged that the disk be passed around to family and friends. I happened to get it from a friend. Installed it. By March of 1996, the local phone company started their ISP operation, and that's when I was introduced to the other elements of the internet (WWW, FTP, Telnet, Gopher, IRC, e-mail, etc.), I went from 28,800 baud to a blazing fast 56k, and I haven't looked back since. Along the way, I've been on the old MSNBC Opinion Board, and got introduced to FR in late 2001, and the rest as they say, is history.

Oh Lord, my boat is so small and thy sea is so big!

Glad to have such a big family, Jim. But the origins lie in Common Sense which offends some and appeals to many.



70,000 huh? Get 'em to cough up a buck each and do away with Freepathons!

I wonder how many here remember the Prodigy Whitewater Board. I migrated over to here when Prodigy went under. I was a lost soul for a while until I discovered FreeRepublic. Thanks Jim!

I remember surfing the site while researching the Friends of Bill list back in the late 90s. A great service which has become an institution.
