Ron - do we take that any poster who wishes our forum to be changed into members only - are all not only in agreement with the following) for the record) statement being made public, but are also in agreement with its content? For they do rather tend to go together.

And despite our best efforts, Mudcat is no longer a pleasant place to hang out and goof off or have a good discussion. So, I think something has to be done. Ebbie's suggestion about putting Secret Santa in the music section is a very simple answer to one major objection I had to members-only BS posting - duh, why didn't I think of that?

So, short of members-only posting, what can we do to bring peace to this place? I'd rather have another solution, but I haven't been able to think of one.

And perhaps they could inform our forum what their intentions are towards judging our forum to be no longer a pleasant place to hang out and goof off or have a good discussion - as Max has not seen fit to implement this change and should Max indicate that he has no intention of implementing this change?
