Thread Name: Mudcat FAQ - Newcomer's Guide
Subject: Starting New Threads
I see an experienced Mudcatter started a thread today titled "Some John Hartford Wonderful." Yesterday, the same person started a thread titled "More Vintage Ron Bankley."

In both cases, I think it would have been better if the information had been added to existing threads. We have over 123,000 threads on Mudcat, so in many cases I find it hard to see how starting a new thread on an established subject is a virtue (there are exceptions, when one wants to take a different tack in approaching an issue). With each addition of a thread, it gets harder and harder to find all the wonderful music information that has been posted.

Please consider using the Filter to look for related threads that can be resurrected and added to, rather than starting new threads.

At least, that's my opinion.
