Sorry, overlapped Little Neo. I wasn't here at the beginning -- probably about 4 or 5 months into it. I have never found my first thread. But as far as I can recall, the Mudcat has always been like this, and the percentages of music vs. other stuff has not changed. What has changed is that while there used to be 10-20 threads a day, there are now usually well over a hundred. I can recall noting the day that there were 50 threads, sometime in mid 1998. What people have to wade through is the result of lots more people being here. As Yogi Berra said of his restaurant, it is so popular no one goes there anymore. Leave it alone!!!!!!!!!
yours, Peter T.
