John W: I agree with you. Rick started a Thread a week or so commenting on how much he liked the tenor of the Mudcat these days. I agree with Rick on most things but I think the Mudcat has changed considerably from the forum that it was when I joined about a year ago. Still good musical subject matter, but the BS Threads designed to insult or infuriate fellow Mudcatters is weighing in pretty heavily. I've give serious to thought to checking out myself.DougR
