I agree with you about Countess Richard, but it's a shame to leave for one person when there are so many really lovely people on Mudcat. I nearly left a year or so ago but the people who were causing me the most grief were banned and things seemed to become much more pleasant. I don't read or post to nearly as many threads as I used to and have learned to avoid the ones I know will become flaming grounds, but when I was feelling really low and posted a thread saying so, I got so many lovely, supportive posts, and even a 'Mudcat Hug' shawl in the post from jacqui.c. It is worth a bit of unpleasantness for all that I think

Love Lynne
