I think Spaw summed it all up with his usual finesse.

Mudcat is a slice of real people from a real world who just happen to have a common interest. Because we are all individuals we have our own ideas and experiences to add into any discussions. Like the real world, we can't all agree, but we try to respect our differences. That's the beauty of it in one way: we don't all follow the proscribed line. We come from all backgrounds and countries, and if the world could be run on the same lines it would be a much happier place!

Climbing down off soapbox now.
