First of all, I would like to apologize to anyone who was recently an unfortunate innocent bystander who stood witness to some of my exchanges on this forum with certain others who shall remain nameless. I am the type who likes to get in to a bit of a scuffle now and then (sheepish) but this mess just deteriorated so horrendously that I decided to just pipe down, take a shower and wash the filth off of myself (and now, I feel much better, thank you)!

Unlike many of yourselves, I am not a musician but stumbled upon this place about three weeks ago and thought it seemed like a fun place...nice people, friendly atmosphere. Since I don't have the knowledge or experience to contribute in any musical way, the way I chose to "pay" my way, was to do searches for people requesting lyrics, history on bands/songs, etc., and the like. I have what I consider to be the Mother of All Search Engines and decided that that's how I could contribute. It's the only way I can contribute. I have grown attached to you folks. I feel protective, I guess. So, when I saw certain people attacking other people here, it made me angry and I decided to provoke those others with the stupid thought that maybe, if they attacked me, they would leave the others alone--nutty, narcissistic and naive, I know. But how it worked out was (of course), they just had one more target in addition to the other people who served as fuel for their fire. (And I am proud to tell you, that I didn't even read the posting above--and you know which one I mean). lol I have now decided to stay on the higher ground where I feel most comfortable (along with the rest of you) and this is where I will remain.

By the way, wanna hear something funny? There really is no other place like this that I know of because in my searching travels, I have come across rock, pop and blues forums and have posted questions on them from time to time, trying to answer questions for people here at Mudcat and you know what? Not one single answer yet--not via e-mail nor on the forum itself--and I don't expect to get answers--ever. This has really confirmed my belief that Mudcat is really unique, really special. I'm happy to be here and I'm in for the long haul. ...you put your right foot in and you shake it all about...
