In all the real explanations, what is often left out is that there are primarily two means of lurking at Free Republic. One is by means of "Threads", the other by "Messages". Which of these you use for lurking can be controlled by clicking on either of the links at the top of the page on the right.

Threads are organized by the article posted, with the article and all responses brought to light when you click on the link embedded in the title of the article.

Messages are organized by having the latest response posted to any article showing on the top of the site, followed by the previous response to other posts, etc., all in reverse order of when their responses were made. Clicking on the link embedded in the article title will bring up the article with all of its responses.

"BTTT" (Bump To The Top) and "Bump" are responses to posts which place the response at the top of the Message window, regardless of the topic. Bumping an article provides a response that is added to the top of the Message list.

I hope this provides some further clarification to you.

3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

6. Be more or less specific.
8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
9. Also, too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
10. No sentence fragments.
11. Don't use no double negatives.

Welcome aboard. 98% of the FReepers are great. There will be times when you need a thick skin. 2% like to correct your grammar, ridicule your ideas, etc...If you ignore they will go away. Enjoy.

There is no hope.
You might as well give up.
It is the end.
You are doomed.
There is no forgiveness.
You have sinned.
It is too late for confession.
Apologies will do no good.
You will spend years posting rambling religious rants on FR,
using myriad random large fonts and various silly colors
and will be smeared with cheese daily.

Shame shall run down your leg and squish in your shoes.
Others will laugh at you.
No one will offer sympathy.
A moose will bite your sister.
No one will care.

Your screams will go unheard.

Your name will be erased.

Day after day after day after day you will suffer.

Finally, when you think nothing could be worse,

that there could be no worse torment than this,

that no one could possibly reject you more,

.

you will become a lawyer.

The real answers to your questions are buried somewhere in all of these replies.

It is your task to correctly identify the truth.

(It's just like watching the nightly news, listening to your associates, or reading the daily paper).

You left out the comma after "ignore," but no one is prefect...

Send some extra skin to a skin bank because sooner than later you will need it.
