I've heard that one told in the form of a Russian proverb, Kendall (young man on the way to new village looking for work stops and asks wizened old holy man who sits by the side of the road what people are like there), but it works in any "language." Like any community, you get out of Mudcat what you put into it, I think. I've gotten new friendships and new insights on music, and hope I've occasionally provided them to others.
