Speaking only for myself, I do hope Mudcat will continue.

I have learned a great deal from it ; I have met up - reconnected, if you will - with people who were important to me in the 1960s and 1970s, and I have made at least four new friends, even if I never meet

these people face to face. (You know who you are !).

Incidentally, Diane's description of the Trolless was not an insult, but a plain statement of fact. The said Trolless has been barred out of not a few sites.

I am not feared to post under my own name. A good few other 'Catters do so as well.

I do not at this stage go as far as saying that posting under your own name should be mandatory, but . . .

. . . makes you think, though, don't it ?
