Zander you're mistaking this place for a members club run by a chairman and a committee. It is a club of largely like minded friends, our the ethos is music and our ethics are old fashioned. We prefer good manners, and are offended by personal attacks. We like to see Mudcatters play like good girls and boys and would prefer it if members didn't throw their toys out the pram every time they imagine they are being got at. It is not up to us how this place is run, and it's gotten along pretty well on the present basis for some time. If you care to look back through the records you will find this argument keeps coming up, and Max has heard it all before, so he does the best thing, and ignores it, he will still be here long after you've gone. I suggest also that you take look at Roger/Shambles posts in their entirety, you may then understand why some people have lost sympathy with him.
