I think part of it on the 'cat may be a function of this from the homepage...

"And if you don't find what you're looking for in the Digitrad Lyric Database try posting a message to our Forum. Odds are your question will be answered within hours."

For someone without knowledge of the site, limited patience for searches, or who is just plain lazy, may seem easier to just come in to the forum, post a request for lyrics, and get the answer. I don't know... maybe when someone posts to the forum, they feel more 'connected' to the process than they would just browsing the DT.

Besides, sometimes requests for tunes that 'everyone knows' spawn discussions that prove to be enlightening.

On the whole, though... I do sometimes sympathize. I remember a patch where we went through about 8 requests for "Drunken Sailor" in two days... you'd think SOMEONE wouild notice the previously created thread at the top of the pile...
