I think that makes Mudcat an exclusive community. If you want that kind of thing, then I say make it a pay site. Otherwise, it's free for anybody and so why NOT share it with others on different sites? More people means more (potential) income in donations for the site. And really, for some of the *welcomes* I've seen around here, it's not likely THAT many people will stick around...that includes in the music section where people can be pretty damn uppity.
