September 11th, 2001.
I got up, made coffee, and got on Mudcat. There was a thread about a fire in a high-rise building that I didn't pay much attention to. But it was getting a LOT of posts, so I looked. Then, I turned on the TV, and was between Mudcat and the TV all day.

After that day, there were opinion threads and song/poem threads, and people talked about their pain and gave comfort. There was kindness and open hearts. It was when the world changed for some, and I'm glad Mudcat was here.
