When I enter Mudcat into Google, up comes links to the front page and to the forum, which is fine, obviously. I haven't so far seen individual thread or links come up in response to other Google searches I've made.

What I was meaning is, I like the idea that we come here because we are interested in folk music or blues or stuff like that - and then maybe we also get into arguments about gun control, or capital punishment or war and peace and politics and the best way to build a whisky still or whatever.

But I'm less easy about the idea of people storming in here who have no interest in folk music at all, but just want to get into a fight about such issues. That happens on an individual basis now and then, but if it got to be a crowd I think that'd be a change for the worse.

However, as I understand it, what Max is doing here with the Ads doesn't actually change the situation from what it would be if he wasn't doing it.
