OK guys, I know that of all people I'm not the one to really say this...but then again, maybe I am. Come on now, you fellas all love one another, we all do, in our own 'irascible' way. :0) Could we just all stay friends now, kiss and make up.

Sorcha was maybe feeling a little grumpy, many others got a little angry, but out of it all has come enormous support for Max and for Mudcat, and this thread, probably above all others, has proved just how important Mudcat is, to all of us.

I'm getting real upset watching all of you getting upset. You're all good people, kind people.

Mudcat is free, and for that we should all thank our lucky stars, for to have it any other would be a shame and many would walk away or never even find it in the first place. What this thread has done is opened our eyes to the fact that in a way, Mudcat belongs to us all, and therefore, we should all support Max, and hell...he shouldn't even HAVE to ask in the first place really, should he.

Do we ask our lifeboats or fire crews to account for our donations? Nope. Some of us don't donate, yet still get rescued by them regardless, and they never hold it against us. Same with Mudcat...I've never donated up until now, yet I've caused Max, Joe and Mick some pretty awful headaches over various things in the past, but they still 'rescued' me when I needed it, regardless of anything else that had happened. Besides, let's face it, we'd all be in need of the ambulance crews if Mudcat disappeared..LOL

So yes, Sorcha has done a lot of good, perhaps in a way she never intended, but that's so often how these things happen...and Mick has, as always, made me smile with his passionate writing, this time in loyal support of his dear friend Max. And Adrien's apples are spilling out all over, with his wonderful festvial and yes, wouldn't it be just GRAND if Mick and Kendall got to play there too! It's a festival that I reckon is on the up and up.

Anyways ups, you guys are all luvvvverly.

And Max and Mudact are loved to pieces, for all they have given to so very many of us.

So onward and upwards.

Peace, everyone.
