er, Mick, I'm afraid I thought it was a critique on Mudcat too. The "other traditions all represented", the "unfamiliar faces", the "regardless of other people", the "snide remarks about other sessioners...especially the women" (remembering the nastiness that went on a few weeks ago), the "regulars have given up attending".
It sounds like the other threads that have started like this before as a thinly disguised allegory of the Mudcat forum. If it's genuine then I apologise for completely misreading the anonymous guest's intentions. If not, well I'm too weary of such topics to bother with it.
