HA! Oh Crowsister, you slay me. I can just imagine the moral outrage if a similar slanging fest took place over, say, the various youtube performances posted by the Mudcat inner circle. But of course, you can't ever speak out for your friends if they happen to have a public profile.

Rude? Oh, not nearly so rude as some people here have been in this thread - and some of them without even first having the courtesy to read anything Colin's written. Of course, some think he was writing in the 60s, so have obviously confused him with someone else, but that's not going t stop them calling him a wanker anyway. But hey - it's all good fun, right? And he published a book, so like any other professional who puts themselves out there, he deserves whatever festering turd of an excuse for criticism any passing Mudcatter feels like lobbing at him, right?


I love Mudcat: lack of knowledge/understanding/information will never keep some people from having an opinion, nor in fact from expressing it. You've got to laugh. :)
