Reluctantly, I also agree with the concept of registering in order to post. Although I'd like to see a "song request" route open for those who are not registered, if Max is prepared to moderate such a route.

Registering is no big deal, and no big price to pay for participation. Just as not going out of one's way to offend others is no big price to pay.

Mudcat IS a 'club'; I see no moral objection to its setting non-excluding rules for membership. Currently there's too much anger and distress being generated to no constructive purpose by those who seem to derive some satisfaction from inflicting hurt on others.
