....and I really mean that Max. (Damn, but I love that site)

Each week brings a few new twists to look for, like the phony but close name thing, but the 'Cat is still the finest place on the net and I know Max has much time, effort, and money in it. For that, I too am thankful. You're a pissant Max, but a lovable little pissant.

This is a community of many friends, old and new. As it grows and changes, its good to keep in mind what Max has said and also to remember that a few assholes cannot take away friendships that are built over time. It makes no sense to me at least, to believe and/or become so angered by what some gutless wanker says that we would give up on the friends we have. Unless you believe what they say, it cannot hurt.

I would urge everyone to take Max's advice and to also consider the source when you are angry. The in-fighting that occasionally goes on only proves the true existence of community here and in most cases, that too will pass. We either work it out or agree to disagree or just avoid the situation. Never let the trolling and flaming drive you off though. Its soon found to be what it is......just go on and enjoy the rest. Enjoy the music, the fun, the arguments, the personal tales of joys and sorrows. Support the 'Cat, but support each other and the community that has been built here.
