Well done, dear Stilly River Sage. I commend your triumphant crush toward the finish line.

Well done to ALL of Mom's chilluns high ort low, wise or otherwise, who have shepherded her so valiantly, so perseverantly, to this ultimate, triumphant passage.

Though the Mudcat prosper and endure for decades, no thread will match what Mom has done, no conversation stagger on so determinedly, nor ever embrace so wide a spectrum of fine and titillating topics. THe purity and color and breadth and depth and sheer aroma of Mom's BS shall remain Mudcat loe, a part of the Great History of the Mudcat, forevermore.

I raise my glass--a Spanish rojo and salute the souls of MOAB!
