Malcolm - just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they are a waste of time on this thread. What you and Greg have said is merely your opinion. For all you know, what Jenny has posted was exactly what Shadylady was looking for.
That's the whole point of the Mudcat - putting a lot of stuff here - good, bad, indifferent, funny, insulting, etc. the quality doesn't really matter because people have different tastes.
You may apologize to Shadylady for being in the middle of an arguement, but remember that Jenny didn't start the argument (yes, you didn't either).
