I'm from the ArtBrooks school of thought on this. I love this place!
Above the line, you can get words, lyrics, chords music, etc., and the occasional civil discussion about songs/music.

Below the line, and I really like this, it's a fucking soap opera!

You have your good characters and your bad characters, the villains and the villainesses, the nice guys and the not so nice guys having it out.
As long as no one is using his or her real name, they are all actors playing parts.

It beats the hell out of Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, and for you folks on the other side of the water, Coronation St. or East Enders.

So, when I can, I tune in each day for a good laugh or a doleful sigh at the carryings-on in our own little Mudcat soap opera.

Once in a while it even becomes a Brit-style pantomime where, when the villain enters everyone hisses or boos, and when the hero or heroine enters everyone cheers.
We can even get the equivalent of "Look out! He's behind you!" when a nasty character
lures the innocent hero/heroine into his trap.

I love it! Please don't stop.
