Sorry Eric......I "looked you up" in the forum and found you're an infrequent poster, but have been around here for awhile. Sometimes we (I) get a bit far gone with an insider joke or two and I really didn't mean to offend....If I did, please accept this apology.

Just reading the titles of some of the BS threads, you'll probably have noticed a lot of references to possums. Why is a long story, but at one point, someone by the name of Hiroshi Ogura posted a message in one of the threads. I really thought it was a put-on and now when I'm not sure if I'm being put-on, Hiroshi Ogura becomes my reference to it. There are probably about 60 -80 regular "Denizens" around here on all the threads and a lot of silly stuff gets to going among us that's obscure to newbies or infrequent posters. I've often thought we need TWO welcome messages at the 'Cat..One to explain the history and details of searching the place with a sort of mission statement included because we are first and foremost a folk music site. Then we need an appendix sort of thing to explain some of the "Mudcat Icons" and the general BS that goes on. It would be a lot easier for some to get involved if it didn't take so damn long to figure out what the hell's going on here at times. But we do welcome your input and feel free to stop by more often.......It's a GREAT place.
