Hi Moonchild. That's the wonder of Mudcat. At least once a week I wonder why anyone would start a particular thread. But almost inevitably they evolve into wonderful writing, bizarre takes, and generally keep reminding me why humans are so interesting (and infuriating). Don't you find that you sometimes get dragged into the middle of some threads ONLY because you can't believe where they're coming from? Last week I was dissing a "Simpsons'" thread only to go there and find several bits of amazingly valuable info that have enriched my life!
I DO try and stay out of any threads that contain the words "ABBA, HTML, IRA, ULSTER, and CATSPAW! (just kidding , Paw)
