For some time I have felt this section of Mudcat has become unbearable. The tone of many of the posts by a certain number of contributors is beyond enduring, and it is no longer a pleasure (as it certainly used to be) to engage in any meaningful discussion before the nasty point-scoring begins.
I have decided once and for all to stop coming here. It's a shame as there are some lovely folk around, but I have come to the point where my involvement stops.
I just wanted to say 'Cheerio' to those who have given me pleasure over the years and to wish everyone well.
I especially thank the Moderators, whose task I don't envy.

Goodbye everyone.
