I think this new member's response to another thread is valuable enough to start another thread. I didn't get the link, but you will figure it out. I am copying it from another thread, and I think it should be required reading:

Subject: RE: ......but I'm not. (leaving, that is) From: Maryrrf Date: 20-Jul-01 - 04:14 PM

I haven't been on Mudcat that long but I plan on sticking around. It's very easy to ignore threads that get on my nerves and just concentrate on the interesting ones! I don't even have time to read all the threads, so if I'm not interested in something or it's some private spat that's going on I just exit that thread! That's the great thing about on-line relationships - if I don't like it I just don't read or respond to it. It's not like some disagreeable person is pounding on my door or calling me on the phone at inconvenient times. I'm mostly interested in the music threads but I enjoy some of the humerous threads and the general BS threads as well. Since I can pick and choose, what I don't like doesn't bother me, (or hasn't so far). Thanks, Mary. BlueJay
