I've been making use of the DT for several years, and have posted on and off to the mudcat for a couple of years (used to use an alias - if you're checking...)

Recent changes in the UK telco market has allowed me to spend far more time here than I could in the past.

As a result of this, I try to answer as many lyric queries as I possibly can. Without wanting to sound big-headed, I'm a pretty competent web searcher. Even if I don't know a song, an advanced search at google (click) can soon pick up a lot of info.

I'm happy to do this, but I sometimes get frustrated when I've spent ages searching for something, posted the answer and the thread then dies.

I guess part of it is wanting someone to say thanks, but part of it is wondering if the person who sent the original query ever got to see the reply.

For some reason, I hardly ever reply by email, if someone asks me to - if they can't be bothered to check the forum again, then they can't be that desperate for the info.

Grateful for thoughts

Ed
