The eloquence of Catspaw, Big Mick, Peter T. B.Seed and a few others are what hooked me into Mudcat in the first place. I'd have been happy to look in occasionally for the music content, but would never have opened myself, my thoughts, beliefs and insecurities to general scrutiny without the postings of those folks.

Still think that "Top 10 (or top 100) lists" are completely bogus though. A REAL "top 100" list would never sell magazines, 'cause there'd be very few celebrities (political or entertainment) on it. Bet there'd be a lot of small town Docs, pro-active clergy, brave soldiers, housewives/mothers, and activists without the desire to be famous.
