Allan,
I am fascinated when members beg people to stay. My own feelings are: Stay if you want to, contribute if you want to. Go away if you want to. BUT there is still that little voice inside reminding me how much I have gotten from Mudcat and knowing that it is directly attributable to the diversity of people here. New people add to the mix. And most, if not all 'Catters, are kind, generous souls. There is that undeniable element of "Stay, we want to make you happy."
Speaking of which: Allan, you seem to happier than usual. I have noticed a huge change in your postings since the Getaway. Want to share the secret? Are you in love? Or did some newly acquired CD change your life? A new instrument? Or have you and the "Adventure" guitar finally settled in together?
Mary
