I think I have just discovered what has bugged me about this thread from the start.

It's the title!

Azizi said she wanted a longer and more explanatory title but due to space restrictions she settled for " Mudcat Is Difficult For People Of Color" that is a statement, and as such, it is at least impossible to prove, if not totally incorrect.

I think Azizi wanted to point out that she has encountered difficulties, and wondered if others of colour [if any] found similar problems.

On that basis I would like to see the title changed to "Is Mudcat difficult for people of colo(u)r?" , This would change it from a statement to a question, and in view of most subsequent posts, fit the thread better.

I also wonder what question one would have to put in a search engine to discover this thread, and I don't think it wouldn't be a folkie person asking it.

Anyway, just a thought in passing, as whatever it's called, it's a thought provoking thread.

Giok
