But, since you’ve been here since 1998, you can still call me NOOB...
Actually I was here before then but mostly as a lurker and not as a poster at first. Those that were here back then remember the database crash and we were added back in from the first post they could find with our name on it if I recall correctly. I signed up about 5 or 6 months after FreeRepublic came online. I have watched FR evolve into what it has become today and like Wardaddy and others I too miss the early days of FR.
