“Anything is possible. I do not know how to check when I first got a login.”
You signed up March 28, 1999. Not sure if that was what you meant because all you have to do to check how long someone has been here is to click their name on one of their posts.
Not sure if I heard about FR from Rush or Drudge. I know I got the link from Drudge and it wasn’t called Free Republic - it was Whitewater something I think.
Drudge is where I got it from, "Whitewater Files", in early 2000 & lurked for years
