I browse a fair number of forums, newsgroups, message boards etc. I've noticed what strikes me as a curious pattern: the better the forum, the more complaints about it.

The complaints often refer nostalgically to a "golden age" when everyone who posted was polite, well groomed, and above average and their posts were current, relevant, astonishingly erudite, witty, and potential Pulitzer Prize winning material. This is opposed, of course, to today's sad state of affairs where the forum is swamped with anonymous, uncouth, polyester wearing, illiterate flamers and me-tooers.

IMHO the Mudcat Forum is great just exactly the way it currently is, warts and all.

Keep those cards and letters coming.
