Cripes, you people put a lot of effort into the unchangeable.

I climbed aboard Mudcat in late '99, and really embraced the ideal. I overdid it, and lost interest for a while, but missed the old place, and came back. I liked it then, and like it now.

It is like a music pub to me, somewhere I drop in for a drink and a chat, with musicians, music lovers and accordion players, but being a pub, there's always several debates going on about general issues. There are always people here I love to meet, and a few arseholes, but heck, it's a pub. I am in the currently unfortunate position of being a Hullite (one of the first?) so I'm probably one of the arseholes to some. I see the Mudchat as a really good extension of the Mudcat ideal, but music rarely crops up in there.

I can't believe anyone reads every thread, and the amount of genuine music debate is still central to the Forum, so I don't personally agree with iggy's position.
