I like Mudcat and think that it a very well designed site. I also believe that Max and company do an excellent job but let us not forget that because of the open way Max runs it, some of the quality is down to us mere posters here - to a certain degree, Mudcat is what we make it and I am pleased to be in the company of so many people who have so much to offer...Jon
PS spaw and Aine, I am a banjo player, but there again I'm not young, transvestite, masochistic or Moravian and I have never seen an "incandescent pickle"... maybe I'm missing out on something.
