This seems to be getting a bit needlessly hairy. ("You perfectly illustrate the sickness around here.") And I note that there's just been an intervention at 10.27 (13th August) which seemed clearly intended to manipulate it in that direction.

But up till now we've had a thread in the whither-Mudcat mode which seems to me to have been quite a useful one, and an overwhelmingly courteous one as well, which is useful in itself.

We've had some interesting sites for comparison, some thought-provoking posts about the way we operate. And of course a helpful suggestion and offer by Jon - which could well develop into something of value to us all. But you only made the suggestion on 11th August, Jon, and today's only 13th.

I know Mudcat time is a bit different, but even so things take a bit longer than that. (It might be a good idea for you to start up a separate thread inviting people to suggest how best to use a bit of webspace like that most effectively, to achieve the kind of things you'd like to see it achieve. This thread has gone on long enough for a lot of people to have given up opening it.)
