This year, just about every time I thought I was talking to someone who was strictly FSGW and not at all Mudcat, I would then discover that I was talking to a Mudcatter without realizing it. I found out, for instance, that I have seen PaulineL at every Getaway I've attended, and just never connected the person with the screen name. There were quite a few people I saw, and some I spoke with, whose names I never learned and I have no way of knowing if they were just FSGW, just Mudcat, or if they were both. I see this as a good thing. I think it shows that the line of separation between FSGW people and Mudcatters is very insubstantial.

I am a bit dismayed to see quite a few names of Mudcatters (and/or Mudcat spouses) who were there, but whom I somehow missed getting a chance to meet.
