Indeed I could add something new to some topics. It's why I get paid to write columns or research programmes. Mudcat, however, is not "the meeja". In it lurks an amoebic but pervasive cabal of those unable or incapable of sticking to a topic and who spout anything that floats into their heads, regardless of what has been said before, or the actual context. These have a tendency to accuse someone else of having a go at them when it is actually someone entirely different (or no-one at all). Then there is another that cherrypicks the odd phrase out of context in order to construct some obscure and wholly irrelevant point which exists only in the machinations of the ramshackle windmill that lives in their heads.

There again, there are the out-and-out non-topics:

Celeb talks on talk show about new band he's got with f*lky (yeuk) tendencies. Somebody's surprised. What did you expect him to be talking about? He's always on about this. Duuuuh.

It really adds value to threads dedicated to the eradication of WAV. Racist twat tries to use music to further vile, white supremacist ideology. The purpose is to stop him, and others like him Plain and simple, even if it does take close on a thousand posts.
