Count me in. You have my support and understanding.
I’m very sorry to see that someone is circulating such a message within FR. Yes, it’s frustrating that sometimes there are problems with the site, but that sense of frustration is also an indication of how important the site is to us. Saying mean things about you and your family is a very inappropriate response.
Thank you for the great service you have done to your country and the cause of freedom by starting FreeRepublic and keeping it going all of these years.

Free Republic wouldn’t be the same if it were run with “corporate efficiency.” A little down time let’s everything breath.
FR has been here more than 20 years.
Think about that.
I’m a Computer Engineer. Without getting into specific details, I am very familiar with the costs involved with running a site like FR from just about every aspect.
The person who wrote this ‘analysis’ is leaving out many details at the beginning of this ‘analysis’ concerning the costs involved, which leaves the rest of the ‘conclusions’ worthless.
This strikes me as the same kind of thinking that goes behind fake polls. The author had already predetermined a specific conclusion. Create a plausible, yet vague, simple list of talking points that seem to validate the conclusion.
Appreciate the sentiment but, I hate it when people say “ God Bless”.
Does that mean “God Bless You” or “Homeless, will work ...” ?
If you guys are making money.... Great!
You should.
Who cares. You provide a great service.
- - I’m thinking the Clinton/Obama intelligence community is after FR. We all know Hillary has feared and hated FR for years.

This does look suspicious. And especially following the last weekend of *rather suspicious* troubles.
AND considering how much is right now being exposed of all their treason and mischief, trying to change subject any way possible ??!
Exactly. I read some criticism of Bernie's kid that accused her of making $500,000 off her woodworking course, associated with her mom's college.
When I looked into the details, it WAS $500,000 - spread over a number of years, and incorporated a number of embedded fixed costs.
So, a lie and a smear, though I'm no fan of The Bern.
Ah, I remember sipping that thousand-year-old Scotch on your yacht in the Barbados as we were trying to decide which of those private jets you had circling would do for a quick trip to the Cote d'Azur for a supper with, what was his name? Rothschild or something? I forget. Probably not worth remembering, he doesn't have a website or anything. Anyway, we lost the anchor and you said, "Bill, fetch me a sack of gold bars and we'll drop that instead." Man, those things were heavy. Anyway, John comes up and sez, "The server's down" and I sez "Naw, he just dropped a silk napkin, he's fine," and everybody laughed and we toasted the dawn with thousand-year-old champagne.
Well, that's how I remember it, anyway. The Doc said the bruises from the electrodes will disappear in about a week.
“FR has been here more than 20 years.
Think about that.”
Like a dog’s years are 7 to 1, I’m guessing an internet site might be something similar - so Jim’s is going on 140 years old!
BTW - FR is ten years older than the I-phone!
And Sony offered its first PC in 1996.
Just Me who does not post much, but always here. Have no complaints scares me when down, but has always come back and that is the Important part. Thank you for all you and your Family does to keep us on the cutting edge of what is happening in the World. Pray often for you and the site.
Jim, This freepmail is absolutely freekmail and Fakemail. I question if this is from a FRiend. I would suspect that this is from someone who wants to undermine the Free Republic’s donor base by making them think that the donations would go to a sinking ship. A lawsuit, if it is justified, would be the course I would take.
Thank you! Before finding Free Republic, I had to frequent many websites, radio programs, and televised (so called) news programs with all of their inherent problems. No criticism can desperage capitalism or free market. Free Republic is worth every penny. God bless you and your family for providing such a wonderful product.
That Freeper is fag...ala Spiccoli...
We bitch about FR and getting dogged but, where else are we gonna go?
Smartest people are Freepers ....even that hypocrite Laz and the redneck Humblegunner(he ain’t a hillbilly so, there’s that).
Anyway, I’m in as always and FR latency is better than homo latency...not that is anything wrong that....
This site is like a fine old Harley Davidson.
Classy.
That is the money comment here tonight. God Bless you Jim and John, and whomever else contributes to the operational success of FR, and to you Jim for your unwavering devotion to truth and freedom. FR has been a beacon for decent people to find the truth about what's going on here in America. You have had major impact on politics and political discourse that have, and continue to be of inestimable value to us all.
