I'm with Nancy and McGrath. Perhaps OK with the music threads, but not with the BS.

I am well aware that anyone can wander into Mudcat and read anything they care to, but I do not much like the idea of what I write here being easily posted without thought or pause to other sites.   

We do have extensive histories with one another, and many, many of us have met in 3-D. Mudcat is more than just a social networking site. It is a community. All of the conversations take place within the context of that community. It is not a hard community to become part of, if one has the actual desire and attraction to do so, but becoming part of any community is a process. Communities also have boundaries - sometimes very closed, sometimes very open, but boundaries, none-the-less. I would venture that the boundaries of the Mudcat community fall pretty near the half-way mark between those two extremes. I am here and comfortable because of community, and that is what I most value. (And it took a little while, and some effort on my part. That is why I am invested and care about this place.)

It is already possible to put up links to threads or copy and paste specific posts from Mudcat to somewhere else. But it takes a little time and thought to do it, so people are unlikely to do it impulsively and without some thought.

That's my 2-cents worth.
