Thanks for clarifying, Mick.

Joe has often said before that if people want a new prefix, to go ahead and use one and that if it catches on, it may be added someday to the prefix menu.

But I find the mod's restrained retitling of threads (to clarify confusing locations, topics, etc.) perfectly workable as it now is.

There is a great database of gig schedules at a site a number of pro-performing members use (I forget what it is for sure-- MUsicCal???!?), that I think is possible to sort by performer, area, etc. IMO Mudcat does not need to duplicate that service or people's email lists for promotions. I don't mind if Mudcat also runs notices, but IMO it is not the best, most-useful way to get gig info or to use Mudcat's bandwidth. (If it was, the "What's On" thread probably would have gotten more play.)
