bbc, I think it is part of the Evolution of the Individual Mudcatter. Spaw & I were talking about this the other day. I was even thinking of starting a thread on it. It seems there are certain phases we go through as evolvoing Mudcatters which include some things in common with one another based on the length of time we've been here. Like the cycles of life, some general terms might be the Honeymoon, the Ardent Poster/Helper, the Pick Your Poison, the Elder WiseOne, and/or the Jaded Oldster (in time as a Mudcatter, only, not in age!). Maybe I will start a thread. I am sure Art, Frank, Sandy and a few others would have something to say on it, as well as the rest of us. Jst a thought or two. kat
