Who are the 'Mudcat Royals'? We all started as newbies at one time or another and, most likely, a lot of us may not have known any other 'Catters before we joined.

I've been on this site for about four years but, in comparison to some of the founding members, still consider myself to be a relative newbie.

Over that time I have struck up friendships on the site and in real time with various 'Catters. As is the case everywhere, there are folk that you click with and others you don't and you gradually build up a group of friends with whom gel. That is a normal part of human behaviour on and off the net.
