A-flat -- that is, yes with MINOR reservations

I really dislike the stupid arguments over what one should be allowed to "say" (write), but I often feel compelled to waste my time reading them anyway -- it's like watching a train wreck or picking a scab. That's when I am least happy with my Mudcat addiction.

I *mostly* like the moderators' attitudes, because their approach seems to be *mostly* "hands-off." I have been mildly annoyed when completing a post, clicking on "Submit Message," and then learning that the thread had just been closed. (This happened most recently when I felt compelled to jump to the defense of one Martin Gibson.)
