Was that someone complaining that things shouldn't have got to this state without us knowing? I didn't think we had rights in this place, and as long as Max is running the show, that suits me fine. Anyway, he sounds pretty relaxed.

I do hope you turn Onstage around Max, but I'd say go for the banner ads on Mudcat anyway - no reason why you shouldn't be getting that income to offset costs.

Some of us will even buy some of the stuff advertised - not as many of us ignore advertising as we like to think. Ads or no ads, I'll keep calling by, if only for the penetrating, in-depth critiques we get of even Mousethief's more tongue-in-cheek efforts.
