I love the Mudcat. All of it. Even the inane. I'm not a great musician and only a mediochre singer. I'm just 17 so I'm not as experienced or wise or knowledgeable about music as most of the people here. I don't really care about obscure facts or (IMHO) irrelevant data.

But I love this place. I have learned so much since I began coming here. I've actually BEGUN to care about obscurities and irrelevancies. I've thoroughly enjoyed the Song Challenge!s and the BS threads. I hear (read) a lot of complaints about inane BS and threadcreep. But that just makes me think of everyone as REAL PEOPLE and not just nameless, faceless people behind computer screens maybe on the other side of the country or even the ocean. It makes me remember that others have feelings and get annoyed sometimes just like I do. Really, it makes me feel closer to people here.

Hey, we're not just Music-Data-Machines. It's okay sometimes to even act like we're not.

Peace--Keli
