In many ways I think yes. I hope that I was reasonably open-minded before but the Mudcat has enbled me to learn and understand a lot more, and gain different perspectives on many issues, from a huge range of people GLOBALLY. This has, on the whole, been an enriching experience, and I must say that in real life I have yet to meet a 'Catter I have not liked.

I believe Mudcat is a unique kind of site/community, what Bill Sables often calls a "big global folk club" with, by and large, a hugely supportive set of people in it.

The relatively small amount of trouble we get here from time to time pretty much reflects what we come up against in our normal lives and does not, in any way, detract from my enjoyment and appreciation of this community.

I would like to thank Max from the bottom of my heart for keeping this place going and giving me the chance to have dialogue with, and sometimes meet, some extremely nice, knowledgeable and interesting people.

All my best to all
