Erm me and Richard Bridge are driving you away?
That's an alliance so bizarre it doesn't bear thinking about.
I joined Mudcat several years ago under the pseudonym that, inexplicably, so many peeps fail to understand (and it's so OBVIOUS) in order to defend a young performer who is now top of the game.
He was coming under so much flak (a role now apparently inherited by me).
All I can say is that if you have something to say, stay.
If not, well . . .
PS Talkawhile is crap.
