Greg F, that is tiresome. I know Ron in RT and I assure you that Jan is real.

But Ron, one could say that all activity not related to goals is a trivial waste of time. What about music? What about your viola playing? What about your beautiful voice and your love of harmonies? What have they to do with whales and wolves? All of that time and effort could be spent in fighting injustice and planning strategies.

I agree that I could live without Mudcat- I could probably even survive without the Internet :), but I choose not to. Through the Internet, including the 'Cat, we make real connections.
