I have ben a member for at least 13 years (Lucky me) and only the number of trolls/members posting has changed downward.
The quality of the music threads & tech threads has remained roughly proportionate and informative.
The number of well? informed in the BS section and the vociferous pursuit of their informed? points of view or hobby horses has not diminished, this adds a bit of colour (often blue red green white and orange ...oops nearly forgot pink and purple) to the often humerus ( nudge nudge) and often contradictory posts (if you read them carefully)and the more they write the more likely they are to expose their inconsistancies.
I find a lot of the posts say much more about the folks posting than the post themselves say about the subject.

The Mudcat is still a great source of folk music and other music of all genres.
Robert Burns — 'O, wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notions

Long may it continue.
