2008, came across the site when searching for stories of a colourful south USA politician, called Mudcat.

Especially enjoyed the linked info, varied perspectives (I have learned from), interesting folks and humourful comments. Quite often, discussions stimulated me to learn more, a big plus. I also read most music posts, but dont have the music knowledge to contribute much.

I have only been told to F-off a couple of times here, (a badge of honour, I suspect), as stirring things up can be interesting when times are boring (some if tge pms following such events are often interesting). I dont take offense by insults, deserved or otherwise. I just mostly like people and diversity (opinions and people) and learning from others, the crusty and the meek..

Only check in now annd then, and do miss some of the folks who dont anymore.
Keep up the good work mods - it may come back on a better path.
