Sandra, I don't mind guests at all - I was one for a long time, but some Mudcatters are understandably annoyed that guests and members posing as guests can post trollishly. Really, I'd say it's members pretending to be strangers, who know many of the regular posters, and just post as guests in order to bait or play pranks or act offensively that are the problem.

Personally, I think they can be put up with, as many real guests drop in and are informative and delightful, sometimes they are musicians who have been discussed, or children of long passed song writers, for example.
