Since I've only ever seen TTCM post flame, I hardly think he has the right to comment about "attention-getting" posters. There's C-O-N-T-R-A-D-I-C-T-I-O-N fer ya, TTCM. Although I must admit, you aren't trying very hard to make people like you.

May I suggest that the best way to steer the mudcat in whatever direction you wish would be to post on the topics you feel need posting and answer the questions you feel you can answer?

The BS threads are for the most part, clearly marked and can be avoided, and most questions do eventually seem to get answered....if someone knows the answer. It does take some patience, but the 'catters seem fairly good at at least considering each question. As for BS in serious threads...I have much less musical knowledge than do other 'catters, and am new...does that mean I should not post or try to get to know the other 'catters? I've learned something from every thread i've participated in, even the BS ones.
