I must say that if I had started the Mudcat, thinking it to be a meeting place to swap songs and scholarly research, and then it went beyond that and became a real community where people meet and discuss what's important to them (and it is mostly music) and make friends in a way completely different from the Net-chat-room stereotype, I would be very proud indeed. I am grateful to those who did start it and work so hard to keep it going, and I am proud to be a member. If it does fade away, so did Camelot and the Garden of Eden, but it's like a hometown to me and, I suspect, to a lot of you. It's working like a charm. Let's don't change it now.
