Regardless of the recent fire-fights, this place has a real sense of community, something which is brought home to me whenever I have occassion to correspond with other 'catters or (more rarely) meet up in real life.
It's a credit to Max and all those guys in the early days of Mudcats' conception who set the tone and paved the way for others to follow.
My hat's off to them and to all you people who continue to make this site the best.
I appreciate you all!

C-flat.
