Thread Name: Mudcat jargon and 'inside' jokes
Subject: RE: Mudcat jargon and 'inside' jokes
A couple of people have mentioned the decrease in music threads, and I think I know one of the reasons: a lot of what I need to know is already covered by a past thread. More often than not over the past few months, instead of starting a new music thread, I've used the forum search to find the lyrics, translation, explanation, etc. I wanted. While very efficient, it leaves me feeling like I snuck into someone's house and stole their newspaper while they were watching TV. So, the Mudcat may be a victim of its past sucess in that it's harder and harder to come up with an original music thread. What the past threads miss, of course, is any input from new people. I resurrected an old "Coinleach Glas" thread last month and got some great additional info - maybe we need to do more of that.
