I think Mudcat as a support and encouragement works best when people go for it, then tell us all about it soon after. Putting a CD in the Mudcat Auction is a good way to get reviews posted in the Forum, for example; sharing good experiences from gigs, etc., usually results in a flurry of "attaboys."

Mudcat also can be supportive in the planning stages, but IMO not as much as after the fact. Continue to take the plunge and post about it, and I think you will find this to be the case.
