Thanks Rick and Spaw. As far as being a grand contributor I sincerely have my doubts, I'm way to slow for gay banter, most of it goes over my head and I'm pretty slow on the uptake on a lot of stuff. I used to worry that my brain was wired differently than most.

I still have a hard time getting into the swing of what Liz the Squeak says, unless I talk to myself in an English accent, but I do love her sense of humor.

In fact I'm so glad I stuck it out, I really like this place, despite people's penchant for cats.

While I had been lurking for some time. I think the first thread I started was in March 1998. I asked about "Help My singing Voice is Dying" to which Alice promptly replied. I was hooked.

Other early requests included sources for Chewing Chawing Gum and Katy Cruel.

I may have posted earlier but I can't remember starting a thread before this time. I know It was a long time before I registered.

I first posted to Re: Straw Poll on February 28 of this year. After lurking for awhile, and using the database a bit, I took the bait. I think I made some wisecrack about Danny Boy. Someday somebody will do their doctorate thesis on this place, probably for psychiatry. The range of emotion here is incredible and I'm constantly amazed when an otherwise unsuspecting topic becomes sensationalized.

Not sure of the first thread I started, maybe one about Tonio K, which got no reply.

I didn't realize how much I had posted (over 500)until I got to this thread and looked back. That struck me as alot since I don't read 3/4 of the threads and post to few.

Thanks for the chat! Mooh.

I first posted (I've mentioned this elsewhere recently)Feb '98 asking for words to "Listen to the Ocean". It turned out I had them any way, but I started looking at other threads and the rest, as they say, is history!

Without looking, I think my first was about a knife-edge slide player I recalled from a "Bonanza" of my youth, before I had my own guitar. Hoyt Axton, someone said. What a fine planet this is to land on.

I lurked for about a year, only pausing to ask for lyrics. In Sept 1999 I succumbed

My first posting was on the sad and rather uncomfortable subject of badgers piles just here

Patrish, I fixed the first link. You did fine except that you forgot to put in a < at the beginning.

Late December 1998, asked for lyrics for my dad, which is how I found the Mudcat. I went back to actually read it, but couldn't get it to go back farther than Jan 13, 1999, which I know was not my first. When I started out I was just "katlaughing"; I added the "kat/" after you all started shortening it. Anyway, maybe that is why it wouldn't come up. And, no, it didn't time out on me because I've posted so much. :-)

However, when I tried to refresh the threads for two years, it kept timing out. I figured I could find the thread that way. Oh well....it's been a blast.

I got sucked in, I mean "seduced" -- oh, whatever, by Jeri who dragged me into a thread on gravestone iconography. I think I posted as Linn the Thanatolithologist -- it was before "Guest".

Dunno why I chose Bat Goddess over Thanatolithologist as a nom de Mudcat, but I did.

Glad it all happened, though, and I discovered the joy of mudcatting!
