"I don't want people to know my identity, and I don't want to know yours. I don't care if you believe you can recognize me from my style or not, because I don't care if people recognize me, my style, any personal information I have or have not divulged in this forum, etc.

I just plain don't care. I don't value any relationships here, because I haven't got any relationships here, and I don't want any relationships with anyone here. I'm the same way in the other forums I frequent. For me, online chat isn't about developing relationships. Period."

And that right there is one of the most important lessons every Mudcatter needs to understand... "


This is where it's at for me folks. I am a folk, country, and bluegrass musician who was drawn to this site. Most of the politics here am somewhere between 0 and 180 degrees from and I have no problem telling you so with impact. I don't come here for relationships and ass kissing and I have successfully separated real life from this and other Internet forums.

If you don't want to, fine with me, but I don't have to conform to what you conceive as a perfect world because it just isn't. I think Bush Bashers, droll English folk singers, and fat, bearded over-the-hill American folk singers suck.

But there are other types here who don't.

Sorry, I never claimed my opinion was humble. Nope, I am not Joe's alter ego.
