Thanks Shambles. I scanned a few posts briefly. I tried to add it to my Tracers but couldn't. I copied the link and will read it when I get a chance.

I must say that I haven't had the time to review all of these threads dealing with this topic. Actually, nor have I had the inclination... I have a few other things that take up my time, so to speak. Having said that, I have given my opinion about the fact that it is a forum provided by a private individual whose focus for this site is the preservation and promotion of blues and folk.

I simply mirror what others have more eloquently said when I say, "Play nice. Mind your manners (but, be yourself - that's what makes it fun). And, don't take shit from anyone." My little, old, gray haired mother taught me that last one.

My proposal would reflect what I believe Max's is... what the Café is really all about, in the end... self-censorship.

Peace.
