#2 .com, thank you for supporting a forum so dedicated to free speech. I am truly grateful.

Fred, such an apology ~~is beyond~~ has no worth here.

#5 Much more memory, faster processor... Ahhh.

Can we know the specs? Or is that classified information?

Thanks to Fred for the most addictive and informative site on the 'Net, bar none, and for everyone who has and will donate. Imagine a world without RB. Man that just sucks! So let's keep it up - I sure will - and you're right Dr Steve (lol!), I couldn't think of a better way to spend Saoodi money. Fred & RB deserve to be #1!

#7 I suppose this is as good a place as any to request one problem you ought to fix when you do have time again. If I am looking at a Page 1 of of a previous day and then click to look at that date's Page 2, your program always sends me to today's Page 2, from where I have to turn back to the desired date.

Gracias .com!

#12 Thanks, .com (The Artist Formerly Known As PD) and thanks again, Fred!

You know, Reagan was the first president to inspire me and help establish my political identity back in the 80's when I was still a teenybopper, and I've been very sad and reflective all week regarding his passing. I'm curious what iterations a site like Rantburg may go through over the next few decades and help other like-minded invididuals the world over sort through the liberal media B.S., share information and insights, and find solace knowing they're not alone--especially for you dear readers living in the People's Republic of Massachusetts or California. Rantburg, in whatever form, could outlast all of us and continue to be a beacon of hope, a port in a storm, and the Mother of All Bulls--t Repellentsâ¢ for generations to come!

Vive le Rantburg!

#13 Big time is great, but not too big.

I feel like I know most everyone here. If Rantburg gets as big as LGF, I feel like everyone will get lost in the shuffle.

Anyways, good luck with the new job, Fred, and thanks .com (pbuh).

#14 Are there any other gizmos you need to complete the mothership, Fred? Perhaps one of these. Rantburg could go mobile when the 5th columnists come for our bits and bytes.

#26 Major thanks to Fred. Many thanks to .com and all other contributors.

Thanks, also, to the posters here who dig up all these news articles that help me keep up with the modern world (or parts of it, anyway).

#27 LOL, Chris W.

Thanks, .com.

Thanks to you too, Fred, for all your work. And good luck in your new job.

(Now if you could just bottle how you manage to find so much time, and sell it, you be rich! :-p)

#29 I think we'll be able to make up for your absence, Fred; don't worry about us!

Lots of thanks to .com . . . and as soon as I get my first paycheck I'm gonna make a donation; I've been here for free for too long . . .

#31 Wow, .com, thats awesome. And everybody else here too, esp Fred for starting this place. Every time something happens in the news I come by Rantburg first these days. It's always amazing how much knowledge the people here have, plus there's the whole part where I laugh out loud and have exported things like yelling "Cue the rolling of eyes and seething!" at the TV during the news.

And what growler said, even though I don't say much very often, I read all the time and its gotten to where I feel like I "know" most of the posters here. Except for Boris the Spammin' Wacko everybody is interesting in some way.
