A couple of folks reactions have been very interesting, and by that I meant those who have brought in the insider/outsider theory.
Now I know there is a conspiracy theory at large that Mudcat is composed of cliques, but I see this as merely paranoia on the part of those who feel excluded. Not that there is anything to be excluded from really, what they have to realise is that in many cases they are coming into an ongoing conversation that's been in progress for many years.
It is that, conflict between the easy going members and the control freaks, that is worthy of anthropological analysis surely?
Don't forget the conspiracy theorists either ¦¬]
