It's time that all the people who have NEVER in their whole lives up until this thread, posted to a thread to Mudcat....(And there are, shockingly, MILLIONS of such people, poor souls!)...time that those people had a thread all prepared just for THEM.

Yes, millions have not posted to the Mudcate Forum. There are people who don't know and don't care. There are people who wouldn't care if they did know. There are people who want to, desperately, but they just haven't been able to summon up the nerve to take that first big step.

There are people, like John Lennon, who can't because they're dead.

There are people not born yet who must wait their time until they get the chance.

There are people who have lives, and must attend to them, which is why they don't show up here every day like most of us regulars do.

Well, this thread is for all those people. Lose your Mudcat virginity HERE and NOW!

Needless to say, it is not for those many regulars and many Guests who have posted on this forum before, so I do not expect to see any posts here from YOU! No sir. Just stay away. Hands off that keyboard. You know who you are, and you know what I mean, so don't do it.

I know, you'll say..."What about you, Little Hawk?" Well, it was my idea, and someone had to start it. I am that someone.

Okay. Are we there yet? Everybody ready?

Let's see who drops in and posts on Mudcat Cafe for the very first time!

Oh, dear. Shocking! Disappointing. Disturbing. Unconscionable. We have had 4 posts already from regular members who are not supposed to post here at all! As the moderator of this here thread, I can certify that beyond a doubt, and my certification is all the validation that is required. The compensatory adjustments which may have to be made in order to moderate the attitude problem demonstrated by these people causes some consternation to those of us who believe in following instructions. Ahem!!!

Let's hope things improve by tomorrow...

So (see post of 02.33am)Little Hawk HAS been "certified". I thought as much.

"They're coming to take me away ha ha .........."

I've also never posted here before or at all.

From the looks of it if us regulars don't post this thread will drop off the bottom and be lost - so no newbies could post to it.

We are performing a public service by keeping this thread going. Can't fault us for that, can you LH?

Little Hawk, you pea-brained half-wit, this thread is totally illogical. The title states that it is for those who have never posted here. But, if someone who has never posted to the Mudcat posts to this thread, he is immediately disqualified since he will have, then, posted here.

Now, Spock, don't get all "logical" on me, you pretentious, uniform-adjusting, eyebrow-arching pedant. I'd rather deal with Kirk anytime, because HE cuts to the chase.

The premise of this thread is dead simple. It is a welcome to the billions and billions (thank you, Mr Sagan) of culturally impoverished souls who have not, prior to their appearance on this thread, every posted to a thread on the Mudcat Forum?

We've had quite few already. This is great! It's good to see people coming out of the closet, as it were, and getting their feet wet for the first time on Mudcat Cafe. It's glorious, in fact. I think it likely that Condoleeza Rice and Oprah Winfrey may post here at any moment. Let's hope so! Then there's Eddie Crinch. He lives down the street from me. I've told him and told him about Mudcat, but he's very timorous. Can we entice Eddie to post here? I think so. It's worth a good, solid try, right?

As for you, Spock, bugger off. You've posted on this forum many times already and you should not be posting on this thread at all.

Of course you are,
My bright pretty star,
I've miles and miles of files,
Pretty files of your forefathers fruit,
And now to suit,
Our great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

I'm more than that,
At least, I think I shoud be.

Maybe if the thread had been billed as reserved excusively for recidivist posters that might have provoked the silent majority into posting.
