With a lot of pleasure I have pay-pal'd a contribution towards the expenses of mudcat.

This has been and is one of the finest resources I have used, as well as being an entertaining read. There's a lot of interest in the UK; we like the contact with the US and Canada and Australia and New Zealand and Guam etc etc. For myself I take mudcat to be non-ethnocentric.

It's a bit like a club - some members do all the work, some enjoy the facilities, and some moan.

I shall regard payment towards mudcat as a subscription to a club which I value.

Max - thanks. Joe et al - thanks for a thankless task. Dick, Pene etc thanks.

To all those who respond so positively for requests for info - thanks.

To those who share their (sometimes bizarre) humour - thanks
