It's not that I don't understand what you are saying, Roger, it's that I don't agree with you, so there's no need to feel "forced to labour".

I just feel glad the Mudcat is here, and I'm pretty happy with how it works, and grateful to the people who put time and effort into into helping it work. If from time to time they make the odd mistake, who doesn't?

The examples you give, Shambles, of what you are complaining about just don't add up, in my judgement, to very much that is worth complaining about. There's a difference between suggestions for change and improvement, and this kind of thing.

The insults you identify don't seem too serious. "Troll." "Idiot." I've had far worse from other posters. Agreed, that's a different matter from getting them in a semi-official capacity. But when we get under people's skin we can't be surprised if they scratch, and as scratches go, those seem, to me, pretty mild.

(And justa picker - you're a great musician, but...)
