Mudcat is like MMario says...a community-- with a major 'interest' and between 23 and 749 minor ones, depending on the moment you do the count. Lots of creativity, humor and much real 'connection' happens here. It also reminds me of the idea of using large numbers of individuals to analyze, predict and explain...sort of a "Delphic Oracle" in a modern setting. There such a breadth of experience, knowlege and backgrounds congregating here that people ask questions about everything from plumbing to psychology, and usually get valuable answers. One thing "folkies" commonly have is a wide set of interests, and fairly high educational background, and I have learned amazing things from reading their combined opinions. (yeah, yeah..even with all necessary disclaimers...)
