Ron, I take exception to this: "Main point she had of course is not one Mudcatters like to hear--that we should not be wasting so much time doing anything on Mudcat BS"

I think it is perfectly legitimate for her to say - even in exasperation - that she can't see how Mudcatters can spend so much time on the 'Cat but I do fail to see in what way it is any of her concern, especially as she has absolutely no way of knowing how *long* we are on it, no matter how frequently we post, and what we do when we are not. When you look at what she wrote, she was downright insulting. If she were a friend of mine, I would demand an apology or at least an admission that she was out of line.

I have little doubt but that she is a perfectly good and loving person - after all, you love her - but she needs to understand that attack has consequences.
