Dear Jo King,

I notice you are a new member, did you know someone had joked recently here about taking out a Mudcat membership with the name Jo King (JoKing, Joking, get it?)? I hope your name will not get too confused with that. I am sure a new member like yourself would appreciate being taken seriously.

Anyway welcome to the Mudcat. There is a thread running usually where newcomers often introduce themselves-- how they found Mudcat, what they play, what music they like, how they picked their name, sometimes... I hope to see you there.

BTW, if Mousethief had wanted to make a joke at your expense, it would have been only in fun, and it would probably have been over spelling, not a real music question. ("Rhythmically") Oh he can joke a little too rough sometimes, but he doesn't fool around when it comes to music. Most of us don't. I think you might want to exchange some PMs with him to get that little miusunderstanding cleared up. Up to you of course!

Or... were you joking about being offended? These things can be so confusing! I dunno!
