" In my mind, you can either have a music forum or a BS forum, but it can't be both because the BSers will always outnumber and outgun the music people, just as we see happening here."

WRONG. I've been a member of Mudcat for 3 1/2 years. There have been BS threads and music threads coinciding for at least that long. The ONLY thing that's changed in that time is more people know about the Mudcat. But I don't see that as being dangerous - the main drawback is that there are more Flamers/Trolls to wander in, but they wander off just as quickly.To me they're like toilet paper. They sit quietly until they must do their thing and then they move on to their just reward.

TO MAX:

This is a great place. I came here for music info and stayed around because of the discussion of both music and other subject. Many of the regulars see the world through music and I feel very comfortable with that. Most of the music discussions don't interest me for various reasons, but many do. I keep visiting every day because there's usually something interesting happening.
