I don't read most of the threads. If its a lyrics thread of a song I have no interest in singing, or don't have anything to offer, I don't open it. We all come on here looking for different things. That's as it should be. One thing that makes opening a thread a pig in a poke is not knowing who posted it. It's not so necessary for song lyrics, but like everyone else, there are friends on hear I would almost always open their thread... and some I wouldn't, most of the time.:-) Mudcat is not formatted to encourage conversations, like Facebook. You can't comment directly on someone else's post, and it takes more work to respond with constant new posts (which require a new post to respond to.) Having conversarions with other members is not a primary purpose for Mudcat. I'm fine with that. I just respond to two or three people in one comment. There's also something artifical and limiting with the format here on Mudcat. If I want to include a song or two as part of a conversation, Mudcat isn't set up for that. If it has a song, and a conversation I'm not sure whether it goes above the line or below. There are "lines" in a real conversaion. :-) All of this is fine with me. I wouldn't change anything. Mudcat has worked well for a long time, and does what it does quite well. :-)
