I just love the forum and how easy it is to access and enter comments and even new threads. I've tried other chat groups. The go through all sorts of riggamarole getting you registered. Some send all the comments via e-mail to you, etc.. This is so nice, easy and quick. Thanks to the persons involved in keeping it going. We love you!!

Sharon,

Me neither, I haven´t found any chatgroups like this one. I actually got pretty shocked when finding Mudcat. Didn´t think something like this existed.

Thank you very much. You probably haven't seen any like this, because I wrote it and nobody has bought it off me yet.

No trouble. I am thinking now on how to improve it. There is a thread going about this, check it out if you have any suggestions.

You wrote this yourself, Max? Well, it's wonderful. I think all of us are grateful to you and Dick and Susan and whoever else. Can we send you virtual flowers, or something? I'm still ready to send a donation. Just tell us how.

There will be a thread and news on donations and the ideas for t-shirts posted in a day or two.

Max,

I've only been coming to this site for a couple of months (I'm a definite nubile) but from the first I was addicted. I'm amazed that there is no other "virtual Cafe" site like this on the net, but I have looked around before finding this site. I never thought I would find such an interactive site through folk music pages. Its a brilliant Idea. If I knew anything about computers (over and above typing) setting up forums such as this would be an ideal LIFE's WORK. May your ideas continue to flourish.

Who is going to be designing the T-Shirts? Maybe you could have a competition (friendly of course) and all of you talented musicians out there could stretch your artistic ambitions to pen and ink and get drawing. Sorry if someone has already mentioned this in another thread. I thought the idea using the Mudcat was excellent - perhaps he could be playing the fiddle, wearing a celtic motif on his T-shirt and wearing groovy shades?

Another thought - T-shirts could be personalised for extra dosh.

I, too, love Mudcat!

Laoise.

My curiosity got the best of me.......and "nubile" isn't in my small Websters Dictionary.

So I don't know if I AM or NOT!!

Webster says: "Nubile - adj (of women) of an age or condition to marry."
Or as my grandmother would have said, "husband-high and ready."

It's all right, Laoise, I'm a newbie to the site, too. Now, what's a reddener?

Subject: RE: Love Mudcat

God, I'm totally skundered! Suzy, in my dictionary nubile means "of marriageable age". I meant it in the sense of my being a "Newbie" as I have seen expressed in other threads.

As far as marriageable age goes, yes I am but no way Jose! How 'bout you Sue?

Kiwi, if you're reading this, do you get the feeling that we're being picked on for using interesting (perhaps not applicable) words. At least we're trying to sound intelligent!

To the person who would rather remain anonymous ONCE IS ENOUGH ALREADY!

Laoise, with a REALLY big reddender.

Whippoorwill,

We were obviously looking up in the dictionary at the same time.

A reddener is a blush of course!

Laoise, still suffering.

I think I love all of you already. I think Suzy and I would be good friends, and Kiwi too. Suzy is so sweet, and Kiwi is so expressive and sensible.

Laoise: Skundered! A fine word! While I never heard it used in my part of the Appalachian Mountains, it would certainly be at home in my native dialect! I, for one, am enjoying your use of the language; keep it up.

to Laoise: sincere apologies for the second post. It was a result of coming back an hour or so later and hitting 'reload' when the page did not come up. The machine posted 'form data' which happened to include my original post. I guess I am also skundered. I really intended to only make a wee joke.

Laoise, what's "dosh"? (as in extra dosh for personalized shirts)
If we pay attention to what you post, we might start understanding those Celtic songs we like so much.

Joe,

Most Aussies my age would recognise dosh as the same as dough, filthy lucre etc. we might even call it money.

Cheers,
Alan

Bout ye Laoise

What's the crack?

Haven't heard anyone say skundered in 5 years, apart from myself of course.......these Aussies wouldn't understand.......... they don't understand "I didn't come up the Lagan in a bubble!" or "Your head's a marley" either, and I'm still trying to convince them that "You oul eejit" is a term of endearment. Thanks for reminding me of home.

See ye

Alison

Wow, thanks for refreshing this, jOhn. Best of Mudcat. :) I didn't join till a year after the start of this thread, but exchanges like this are the reason I've stayed this long, despite being a hermit at times. :) Makes me start wondering about the very first thread on mudcat ...?

As in any walk of life, most of the people we meet on the Cat are easy going, trustworthy, respectable, and possible candidates for becoming firm friends. There are just the odd few who make life difficult. The Mudcat heirarchy (so to speak) have a difficult job and are put under a lot of pressure because of a very small minority. The majority of Folk on here show self discipline and make it a great place to be.
To the leaders...Great chatting place...thanks.
Best wishes.

Max used to have a web authoring business and hosted a site about Blues in his spare time...the Digital Tradition was added, and the forum was added soon after. Max did design the site, but had several 'elves' helping back then, and one of the cleverest, Pene Azul (Jeff), stayed on and does a lot of the more recent 'programming' while Max keeps the hardware running....together they make one hell of a team!

The problem posters are just part of the territory. The freedoms we love here lets in the rabble. Just like a pub session. In comes a crowd if ignoramii because there is music and they then proceed to shout over it and loudly suggest toons (they know) and give-up with "do you know anything decent".

A bit like real life really.
