Hey annamill, some of us felt the same way about Bruce Olson, as you feel about your Mudcat cronies.
Only difference between Bruce and the Mudcat elite, are that Bruce actually knows what he is talking about when it comes to music, and most the rest of you don't.
It is just this sort of non-music crap that has driven nearly every knowledgeable folkie who once frequented Mudcat, out of this forum.
But apparently, that is supposed to be JUST FINE with the passive/aggressive and emotionally needy among you, who, apparently, would just rather talk about themselves, amongst themselves.
Is it any wonder all there is left of Mudcat are the ashes of a formerly good on-line folk music discussion forum?
