I was a "lurker" for a long time before actually signing up, partly because I tended to look at Mudcat at work (during slow times on duty in the library) but couldn't join from there because of the cookie thing. When I found myself wanting to post from home, I signed up, and haven't looked back.

Early on, when I was still posting as a GUEST, I received a rather sharp answer to a wrong guess I made in answer to a query. Jeez, I thought, no need to be snotty about it! I soon discovered, however, that most 'Catters are not only knowledgeable and helpful, but also patient and funny. I've learned a lot, gotten some great advice, found words to many songs, laughed a lot, and made some real friends.

Thanks, Folks!
Nancy
