One remarkably nasty bit of graffiti from a nameless source(and there's no way to stop that, it's the nature of the medium) - but the rest was pretty friendly. A bit suspicious maybe at times, but there's a history to that.

Ol' Bill in a first world war shellhole said "If you know of a better 'ole, go to it" - I'm not saying that, because it's not a welcoming thing to say. But if you know of a better 'ole on the Internet, let us know. I've found nothing approaching the Mudcat when it comes to quality of information and quality of friendship and of interesting argument. It'd be good to have something to fall back on on the occasions when the Mudcat crashes.
