New Fish On The Blck, give it a chance... There may be a lot of chat but there is als material that you won't hear elsewhere but is well worth listening to and I felt that the cd that Amos sent provided a good example of this last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think that you also need to realise that Mudcat is more than just a forum and that in many ways, it is a community so a certain amount of chat is inevitable.

Perhaps you should bear that in mind before criticsing. From my own point of view, I have somewhere in the region of 20 contacts around the world that I would dearly love to meet and have fairly regular correspondence with as a result of Mudcat without even thinking about the number f posters that I have tremendous respect for... Do yourself a favour - join in once in a while.
