I think the majority of us see Mudcat as primarily a place that is oriented toward the reader, rather than toward the person who furnishes information. As such, Mudcat should make the priorities of the readers its primary consideration.

The above is now Joe Offer's view - is it in fact - now the majority view - as claimed?

Or is the majority view - that as far as possible - everyone should be given equal consideration and receive equal treatment?

I would suggest the following to be the question for open debate:

Is our forum primarily for the invited public to do as THEY wish - with the aspects that THEY prefer- or primarily for some volunteer fellow posters to impose their prefrences upon those wishes?
