Steve/bob - There are folks I respect and admire at mudcat..
Then there are mudcatters I have no respect for whatsoever.

Sometimes, depending on specific posts there can be fluidity and temporary crossover...
Most other mudcatters don't register for too long in my failing memory...

A good well written thought provoking post stands on it's own merit, whoever wrote it..

What I don't do is join mudcat gangs, never have, never will...

Outside of mudcat, I stubbornly avoid all social networks....
I'm not a sociable person, which is one reason I never joined the Labour party...
Just occasionally sitting in with mates at branch meetings was enough for me.
There were too many annoying idiots, I haven't the patience...
