i'VE HAD MY WRIST SLAPPED BUT i'VE NEVER BEEN TRAMMELED. Damn Capslock! I don't think I've ever been flamed. Maybe I am too thick skinned to notice. I wandered into Mudcat a few months ago after a sudden and unexpected "break-up" that had me more than a little confused. People here tolerated my love of Civil War and Gay Nineties music so I stayed.

I don't resent the special friendships that exist here. I like to think I have formed some of my own. If there's a clique, I missed it. But I am awfully glad they have let Mbo in. He's too talented and loveable to be excluded. Sorry, Matthew, did I make you blush?
