"Be glad it's here at all."

What a pussy-ass mentality... I hope you (And the others who have expressed the same sentiment at this and other elements of Mudcat) don't live your WHOLE life with that attitude...

Women never woulda got the vote... Blacks never woulda been allowed to drink from 'white' water fountains...

Not that the issues that Mudcat has are anywhere near THAT important, but only through people standing up and asking "WTF is wrong with this!?!" do such issues get cleared up...

Not that I expect this thread will achieve any more than any of the other countless "WTF is Wrong With This Place Now" threads that people have started over the last couple of years... And well, it's not like Mudcat is the ONLY place for folk music discussion on the net... That so many other good folk music sites don't even KNOW it exists is testament enough to that...

What keeps me bitching? I came here a few years ago, and the place was great... and I met some very cool folks... now the place has gone to hell, but some of the cool folks have stayed... I stay to keep in touch with them... and well, because I'd like to see Mudcat returned to even a shadow of it's former glory...
