Ahoy thar! [View all]

Hello everyone,

I'm a Brit who lived in the US on and off for 20 years and have had an active interest in politics since my teens. I've been lurking this place for nearly 6 years and thought it was time to sign up and contribute to the forum.

Cheers,
PG

Really?! That was never true before, and I've never seen it, either. Rhiannon12866 Aug 2013 #7

Interesting, I wondered if that was new. Huh. uppityperson Aug 2013 #9

I think that is only the case until you hit 20 posts BainsBane Aug 2013 #8

Has this always been true and I just never knew? Rhiannon12866 Aug 2013 #10

No, I believe it's relatively recent BainsBane Aug 2013 #11
