Isn't it a great website? I stumbled across it on another mailing list too--and we had quite a good time identifying all our members! I was identified as a cross between the philosopher and Rottweiler puppy. ;-)

No evil intention here folks, I just got a chuckle out of it and thought others might have some fun with it too.

Oh, SURE....

...& I'm SURE the 'Collective Noun' for a group of Mudcatters isnt 'Swarm' anyhow...

Nor, I dont think, would it be 'Clique'....before anyone thinks to suggest it.

Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Swarm
From: GUEST
Date: 14 Jan 02 - 12:40 PM

You are absolutely right, Paul from Hull. There are other "collective nouns" that could be used, like:

The Herd Mentality. Lemmings. Sheep.

I guess it is pretty much a fill in the blank thing. I just used the term the cartoonist uses. Maybe you could tell him to change it to what you think it should be. I'm sure he'll listen!

Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat Swarm
From: Paul from Hull
Date: 14 Jan 02 - 01:06 PM

You seem not to understand what the term 'Collective Noun' means...an understandable lack of knowledge on your part, really, judging from what seems to motibate your....'behaviour'

It's a very amusing website. However, it weakens the humor when you attach specific people's names to specific characterizations. That's too cruel to be funny. It's better to just put the information out there and "let the shoe fit whom it may."

By the way, the cartoonist may know a lot about discussion groups, but he doesn't know beans about the meaning of "trolling" as it applies to fishing.

Actually, I couldn't decide which shoe fit the Mudcat members better, The Swarm or Cyber-Sisters. Both are viciously cruel pack animals, just like the Mudcat regulars when a stranger GUEST wanders in.

You might want to add the Mudcat Swarm to your list of Cyber-Cats who are "too cruel" to 1% cyber folk who inhabit this space too Jim Dixon, before you go calling kettles black.
