Naturally I like the music threads, but (and here's where Mudcat is unique) I've read some of the most articulate and well thought out opinions on a multitude of subjects here....FROM the perspective of people who rank alternative music highly in their lives. Generally the folks are more considerate and rarely do people push the "buttons" that make the more emotional catters "lose it". It happens occasionally, but even that can be fun, as a ton of folks jump in as peacemakers. As far as "personal" posts where folks share thoughts about themselves...I really like that as well. I'd infinitely rather know what makes people who share my interest in music tick, than watch TV or do tax returns. Just the fact that so many new mudcatters have joined us in the last few months would indicate that they've found something worthwhile.
