Oh, Christie was this "person" who posted on another thread supposedly asking help on "etiquette" but actually just pretending to ask so s/he could get us to sound caring and then make fun of us. Pretty nasty, so we've been a bit burned lately by people taking advantage of our good spirits. Sorry if we aren't as welcoming as we once were. I don't like being made a fool of, but some people seem to think it's amusing.

The reason I mentioned dating was that in your thread name you had "dating." Again, sorry if I mistook your intentions.

Yup, the 'cat can be overwhelming, but as I said in another post, it reminds me of what the rest of the world might have looked like if we'd "won" during the Sixties. A bunch of hippies, freaks and musicians who just exude whimsy, passion and good cheer. It's undoubtedly a bit hard to take sometimes, particularly for those just putting their toes in the water! (Acutally, I've just known about the Mudcat since May, so it doesn't take long to become a dyed in the wool 'catter.)

Very good luck with your music. I've just started getting back into music after some years away, so I feel like a neophyte in many ways as well. Particularly in jams -- very intimidating, that.

Best regards, WW
