What do you mean by "white", Ed? Seems we had some discussion on this general topic some time ago, which revealed that there are a number of folks here with various kinds of mixtures of backgrounds. The door here is wide open for any one to walk through, and I believe we do a good job of making people feel welcome, and that without having any idea about their racial background(s). One of the things that I cherish most about Mudcat is the ability to chat with folks and respond on the merits of whatever they have to say, without "interference" either way by visual clues.
