Never saw that post from Max, because I out found the Mudcat a few months later. Well balanced stuff.

I'm not sure if it was posted as something the poster agreed with or the other way round. The latter I'd rather assume, since the modest changes Max introduced at the time seem to be the very aspects of the Cat that have persistently been sniped at by the poster.

I'm hoping that the members only bit doesn't come in (though I'd welcome a requirement that GUESTS had to use a minimal label when posting). If it does I think that a significant factor in that happening will be what seems to me a campaign of harassment against Joe and Co carried out by the gentleman who started this thread.
