has a lot to Offer us

knows nearly everything, including a lot of obscure lyrics, and even reformats unreadable contributions

so who is Joe and what does he do? Presumably works for Mudcat...

other questions - are Offer and Gatherer (Nick, a collector of Scottish tunes) their reall names?

How do songs make their way on to the DT database? Who selects them, what criteria? Do lyrics we write in to the forum make their way to the DT (if not, it seems rather a waste in some cases/if so, again how do you select them and chose the 'best' versions?)
