Subject: RE: Mudcat jargon and 'inside' jokes
Moonchild, how do you rate WHITE clickies? I suppose you have an avant-garde black screen on a tangerine iMac, or something like that... Well, there are times when I logs onto the Mudcat and all I see on the Forum Menu are chit-chat threads - no songs to discuss at all. That's when I think things are out of balance, when there's an atmosphere that tends to push away those who come to talk about music. When that happens, there are a few of us make a concerted effort to fix things by starting or reviving music-related threads. sometimes that works, but sometimes it doesn't. It's important for all of us to keep that balance. If you see things are out of whack, swing over to the music side for a while. The chit-chat is fun, but it's the meaty discussions of music that make us the extraordinary place that we are. But I admit that I felt a need to head for the tavern tonight. I had a sad story to tell, and I needed a drink to drown my sorrows. The love of my life ran into my brand-new red car.... with her autoharp. This is very hard on a relationship. -Joe Offer-
