Invariably you will find that those who may be effusive in their affection for one another in the threads, also tend to be part of the Mudcat Welcome Wagon, throwing wide their arms in a warm and accepting welcome to any new guest or member who joins in.

That's the way I was greeted a year and a half ago and I have tried to emulate that kind of welcome as well as the kind of kind helpfullness I found from the get-go.

It is only the ocassional guest/member who does not respond positively to this.
