Yes, well done punkfolkrocker! Even the emoji is on a lean.

I celebrated my 20th year of Mudcatterhood last month. While I am older than punkfolkrocker and many other Mudcatters, I am also younger than some others here.

I agree with Rapparee, "Negativity and trolls have killed more websites than aging" and I suspect that the green apple granny who started this thread was attempting just that. My advice to you is, when life gives you green apples, make apple pie.

A lot of people pop in here through web searches for specific information, and some of the newbies stick around so when the search engines stop being so clever, we may just possibly stop getting new people dropping in.

And then, of course, there are all the kind, helpful, clever Mudcatters who inhabit this space and who are always willing to supply the answers or build the database of information and songs. They are even kind enough to ignore the trolls or detour around their verbal detritus to stick to the topic being discussed. It takes more courage to be kind than to give in to troll-like traits. I've seen that courage here, over and over again.

Thanks to Max and the Mudelfs for keeping the 'Cat going. I'm looking forward to another wonderful 20 years here.
