I'm somewhat baffled, but that sometimes happens here...in a good way, unless, it's not. Now, that we're all in the same boat, welcome, Anamika, guest or member, whichever suits you. I have learned some new (to me) things in this thread. I never knew the origin of the name, Mudcat. Not that it mattered to me, I just thought it was cool. Now, I do. I used to bullhead...does that count?

Thanks for all of the other helpful bits of information. I posted my own thread: "What's in a Name?" in order to introduce myself to my fellow/gal mudcatters and got quite a few responses. I found it broke the ice, and also explained how I "earned" the name. I always post as Wordsmith, so mudcatters can get to know me by my posts.   

I, too, choose to remain - sexless, for the same reasons earlier mentioned. I hear the giggles already. I didn't say celibate. Before this degenerates even further, I bid you all a fond adieu...parting is such sweet sorrow, etc., etc., etc.. Auf wiedersehen. Foreign language skills...now you know something about me. Isn't it amazing how sexy "anonymous" sounds in a different language?
