Thanks, kat, for remembering that Blue Clicky Thing song I wrote when I first fell in love with the Mudcat. (And that hasn't changed.) And I forgive spaw for ascribing it to Amos - except that actually I take that as a compliment to me.

The only bits of HTML I have picked up come from the way things get done here, and I like the way it's helped me to do that.

I've never seen another net forum that comes within distant spying range of the Cat. I think a big part of that is the deceptively neat and minimalist approach. Changes to that kind of thing need to be done carefully and cautiously, and that's how Max has always done it.

One bit of essential advice I don't think has been mentioned - when you write a post and preview it to check how it looks, always be sure to click on the links to make sure. It's embarrassing sometimes when you miss that out, and the link goes nowhere, or to some strange other place that wasn't intended.
