I've discovered Mudcat only v.recently and it's rewarding, tho' i don't some of it, and there are other things in life. The thread about the 3-minute egg is what got me in - it was the funniest thing I'd read in years - brilliant.
If someone posts something anal, antagonistic, drivellish, nasty or not nourishing, I'd say the best move is to ignore it; failing that, to demolish the argument/drivel without naming names.
Mudcat is a fine community that will continue 'cos mudcatters have life and creativity and imagination and experience.
I'm off to burn the soapbox and get some sleep - 'night all.
