It was around 1999 when I made my first postings, although I had lurked for a while before that .(Catspaws postings were a real revelation - I would love to meet that guy)

We were really lucky then, to have so much of Max's free time, before he got tied down with work and family comittments and before SPAM started to have such a big impact on the daily running of the site.

Mudcat Radio was a must, that and Hear-me introduced me to the Mudcat community.

Thanks Max
