Actually, in truth I have learned a lot, and that is why I came to Mudcat. Mostly I have learned important info about specific songs, where to find more info on the web, details about musical intruments, and, as Rick points out - heard valuable opinions about intruments from players. I have also gained a lot from hearing people's heart felt beliefs regarding more personal and political issues. And, along this line, I have learned how to express my heartfelt beliefs on some of those subjects to those who hold opposing points-of-view.

I must say, though - one of my favorite things about this forum is the humor! In nearly every thread, even those heated political discussions there usually shines a bit of humor.
