Your #9097. Just place your cursor over you screen name on a previous post (responding to another FReeper). You should be able to see your sign up date appear w/o clicking. Click to go to your homepage, then click on "In Forum". The number sequence in the address line is your sign on number.

I signed up for Free Republic the first night it went live. Unfortunately I changed my screenname a few months later and got a slightly higher number.

"9360 checking in.

I must be very old."

I am a fossil. I am #56 but go back at least 2 years before the SW change.

You will be well established by election night, and people will be hanging on your every word.

(Hey, it could happen. ;D)

Not certain how serious this thread is (haven't read all of it) but it applies to me. I registered a couple of weeks ago after several years of lurking. Have only participated in one thread but hope to do more as time goes by. There are so many interesting threads and valuable news items that a guy could spend all day every day on FR, and of course that would have negative consequences on job and marriage. So I still lurk rather than actively posting.

I received several "welcome" responses to my initial post and had some good dialog with one Freeper who took the time to share his thoughts and experience (thanks again Chieftain).

My sense is that newcomers are welcomed cautiously, and I fully understand why. I have lurked long enough to realize that some people register just to make trouble and I would not expect long-time Freepers to open up to me as a newbie. Perhaps some feel that "cliques" are hard to break in to, but at the same time most of us want to be a bit selective in our interactions and we are looking for high-quality dialog and ideas. So I think newbies like me should expect a "probationary period" during our early days of posting.

FR is a tremendous resource and I am grateful to those who took the time to reply to me with even a one line "Welcome to FR".

I don't see a number there. Can you be more specific?

This used to be much easier to see. As I recall, my number is something like 1192 or so. But I don't see any number where I think you've told me to look.

"I've been here since May and have often found it difficult to get responses/feedback from most of my posts. Seems as though there are a lot of "mini groups" that talk back and forth. Am confident that my inputs are worthy, but often get discouraged. Just my 2 cents."

The person who said "don't sweat it" is on the right track. We all got together and I was selected to tell you that it is your deoderant. :-)

those "mini-groups" are actually all one person...there aren't more then 50-60 actual people on FR...

Well I'm certainly not one of them. I think I'm either a psychological amalgam of several people in the sub-conscious mind of a helpdesk worker in Bangalore, or a hologram.

I bloody hate it.
I signed on in 1435 BC and a server glitch jumped me to 1997
and then again to 2001. It bloody ruined my life. Why do you ask?

I lurked until I just couldn't stand it anymore. I think it was three days.
