such amazing nitpicking! *I* started the thread, saying that Mudcat WILL be 10 in a week, and that "I just thought it might be good to have a thread this week leading up to Oct.1...for memories?"....now why some troll who can't be a member, or admit to being a member, would need to kibitz over the TIMING of the thread is beyond me....but that sort of badgering is one of the 'changes' we have come to expect in the last few years. We are pretty well known now, so we have lots of detractors...the price of fame, I guess. *grin*

But here we are...and most of our open members are still glad we're here and are having a good time. Sorry about the 'rest' of you .....hmmmm, no, actually, I'm not....
