This thread has come full circle. The moderators may close the thread if they care to.

The thread started right after the policy change at the Mudcat Cafe, which restricted BS-section posts to Mudcat members; guests, not logged in to their Mudcat member accounts, may no longer post to thread in the non-music/BS section, only to music threads "above the line."

One long-time, and universally welcomed and appreciated, Mudcat "lurker"/guest responded to the change by becoming a Mudcat member, with member-name and all, so as to continue exchanging posts on BS threads at Mudcat. I certainly was happy when this happened. This was right about the same time that this thread was started.

Now that same beloved individual has said Goodbye to the BS section altogether, probably to Mudcat as a whole, for exactly the kind of carryings-on over which we all felt helpless and frustrated in the first place. No one made this member leave, and it was not this member who misbehaved. The place is diminished without them.

Guess I'll give Mudcat more time. But now that this thread has come full circle, I will let the thread go, and the moderators may close it. Thanks.
