About twenty years ago (that long? yes - honest) I first encountered Mudcat and thought that it might be useful to at least quell some of the rumours that were attracted by Whitby Folk Week.
At that time it seemed that most people used aliases and so when a query surfaced regarding the campsites at Whitby I posted an explanation of what the situation actually was.
As was the norm at the time I posted this as "The Horse's Mouth" - a fairly easy code to break I would have thought.
But no!
The very next post to the thread told me I did not know what the f*** I was talking about and reiterated the garbage I had been trying to correct.
That was when I stopped treating the platform seriously and got on with running the festival.
