Mudcat was designed in the days of 14400 Baud* modems, and does NOT load slowly (though some of the advert links are a pest). It's less difficult to use than a vibrator, and more open than Kinder Scout after the trespass. That has partly been its downfall- Gresham's law has kicked in. Bad posters drive out good. I'll leave it to the community to decide whether I'm gold or lead.

*"Baud" was originally rate of transmission of INFORMATION, not the bit rate. 14400 should have been 11520 (maximum), or less, because of start bits, stop bits, and parity.
