The other point I was making was, reading right through those 282 posts carefully several times would take quite along time. And by the time people had finished they might have something better to do than this squabbling.

Also that some pointless threads are very hard to kill. (Since that was what the thread I linked to was about in case people didn't manage to load it. They didn't miss much of substance. But at least it was a lot better tempered than this one and it's Part 1.

And by writing this I have refreshed the thing once again.

A serious suggestion - the only people who should add to it further should be people who have done as much for the Mudcat as Joe Offer.
