Peter T,

I just can't agree that because you like Mudcat better than rec.music.folk, that means that Mudcat actually is better than rec.music.folk.

I can agree that Mudcatters like Mudcat better than any other forum. You are, of course, free to express your subjective opinion, just not to claim it as an objective "fact" or "truth" as you seem to be doing here.

Problem I have with some Mudcatters (and it is only some) is they don't seem to have tried anything else, so have nothing to compare Mudcat to. They have limited experience, which colors their judgment at times.

I prefer the company of the cosmopolitan types more than the provincial types though. But that is just my taste. I don't try to make it one size fits all.
