Points well taken Rick......and its no secret that the ambience of the 'Cat has changed since some of us arrived. A lot of newbies hit at the first of the year and some found it a shame that we stayed. Some others found the BS equally appealing and joined into the sheer nonsense or intense debates, not always musically related. The 'Cat is first and foremost a music site. Like you, I read a lot of music threads, but don't post to them a lot. I enjoy the learning. You and I tend to post to a lot of instrument related threads on the other hand.

I am in full agreement on the anonymous or pseudonym poster.......It won't stop, I don't care, but it's pretty gutless.
