I always thought to ask God: "Why begin an endless task?"

Thanks Joe, and everyone else. Yes, great changes to come. The biggest of which is the numerous Harry Fox Agency banner ads. You'll have to scroll a lot and accept 7 cookies, but I think that's a fair tradeoff.

Oh, and I think you are gonna love the new black background and yellow text. Really Jumps off the page. Prints almost white, which the HFA really likes.

Also for convenience sake (and as a courtesy for our newer members) all insane members' posts will appear in pink italic bold. I made a research coop deal with the University of Indiana Cognitive Science Department. I give them special access to the discussion forum and they provide me with pharmaceutical grade LSD for my work on the time machine.

Since I actually got out to a few festivals, gatherings, sings and whatnot last year, and I realized that many of us that enjoy traditional music are illiterate. I think its elitist to have the Mudcat in mere written words. And because our fundraising for the year 2000 reached such an extraordinary level, we can now afford a staff of real-time-readers. Simply connect to our real audio server and choose from the many available voices. Men, women, and in many of your favorite accents including Icelandic, Irish, Scottish and Finish.

Over much discussion with dick, we've decided that Hip Hop lyrics will be added to the DT. Also, we've done a search and replace in the DT to replace any reference to Gordon Bok with Johnny Cash. So NIGHT RIDER'S LAMENT will be listed as written and performed by Johnny Cash. Conversely, All Johnny Cash references will be in pink italic bold. All references to Max will be replaced with "God of Love and All Things Cool".

All Catspaw posts will be in pink italic bold.

We'll be selling your email addresses to anyone and everyone with a dollar.

All credit cards on file to date will be charges a one time fee of $25. Charges on your monthly statement will appear as "Hard Core Porn, Inc.", "Cigarettes for The Homeless Campaign" or "George W. Bush".

And last but not least, we're using the last of our 2001 budget (already) for a Brewmeister in my office. Keep that auction going, we're gonna need a new keg in no time.

Thanks again everyone for supporting the Mudcat and furnishing my new penthouse apartment, I really appreciate it. It may take some time to get used to the partnership with The Harry Fox Agency, but they promised that the transition will be more like a broken neck than a festering gut wound.

Happy surfing everyone.
