Subject: RE: Priceless video of Carthy & Swarbrick
Dear Everyone (except "Ed"!),

Thanks for being so gracious and civil, which is the attitude that *I've* always expected on Mudcat. I can honestly say that in several years of posting here, this was the first time I've ever received such a boorish response. While I admit it took me aback momentarily, my gut feeling is that people who need to resort to belittling others in order to bolster their woefully fragile egos are to be viewed with sympathy rather than rancour. Imagine how sad it must be to have nothing better to do than pick other people apart over trifles. For my part, I've never had any trouble admitting that I haven't seen or don't know about something; it means an opportunity to learn, if there's someone kind enough to teach me.

Anyway, thanks again for being NICE (an all too often underrated quality, I fear); I'm glad that those of you hadn't had the pleasure enjoyed the video!
