Jeddy, my Mudcat name is an acronym for "What You See Is What You Get." It's a tipoff to take things as they've been said. No sarcasm in my comment. My posts seldom require reading between the lines, overmuch.

People do not always start threads (or post) to start a Q&A or engage in either debate or outreach. I admire the restraint it takes not to enter a fray in an environment where real communication is real difficult.

Obviously in a BNP-related thread the fray is inevitable, but these two people seem to have chosen just to continue to use Mudcat the way it was designed and skip the shite-slinging it can also engender. I hope they keep it up. It's a model from which I can learn much.
