I'll dismiss Don Firth's silly response above as just a tired old statement from a tired old man.

Now, as one who has recently come from guest status to member status, I really find no difference in how I deal with some here. There are members here who are smart and informative and there are others who think they are, but are not.

I always posted as Guest, Martin Gibson but found a few douche bags here who I so infuriated and were so lame in dealing with my detection and exposure of their bullshit, that the only defense they had was to attack me by posing as me. Hence, the emergence of Martin Gibson, Mudcat member.

People who post just as "Guest" post empty words because their empty identity has absolutely no impact. Who cares what you say. You are nameless and therefore, souless.

Hats off to posters like Brucie and Little Hawk who tell it like it is and don't have their shorts in a big clump up their ass like some others!
