Some great stuff in here. I'll sit this one out.
But it's got me thinking - maybe this is what lay beneath some of our recent "unpleasantness" on the Mudcat. (I like that term - it's a bit similar to the way the Second World War was referred to in Ireland as "The Emwergency".) Not so much GUESTS as GHOSTS...
(Not to be confused with the recent affable familiar ghost, who apologised for being grouchy - see thread "Apology from GHOST")
