The Badger - I approach all threads from the perspective of a person who has spent years in the events and conferencing world. I do not claim to be perfect, but I resent the idea that festivals just "happen". I do not intentionally intend to be patronizing, but generally find that many of the posts on Mudcat seem to be posted by people who have grand ideas about what a festival should be but little or no understanding of the work involved. Clearly, that doesn't apply to everyone, but it seems to be the majority. Further to this, I would point out that (IMHO), if you want to make holier than thou' comments, making puns on my screen name is somewhat childish. I believe that, like everyone else on Mudcat, I have a right to voice my own opinions. I'm not here to represent anyone, just voice personal views - is that ok with you?! That said, having reviewed the rest of the posts on this page, it seems I'm not the only one who doesn't see the salary on offer as over the top. However, as you deem my opinions unworthy, I will think twice before posting again so as to avoid offending you.
