I think many of you, who are professional musicians, might not realize that there are many of us here who read musical posts, and find them interesting, but don't have a lot to contribute to them. I enjoy them, but I also enjoy the interaction with others on political threads (and if you are into folk music, how can you not be interested in politics?).

I could get by pretty well without the "Farting in Public" threads and silly stuff like that, but if members of the community enjoy it, okay by me.

I guess I agree with Bill D. Anyone who finds that the Mudcat isn't pleasurable, SHOULD tune out. No hard feelings, no recriminations, just slip softly into that good night. Who knows what the Mudcat will be a year from now? It's a constantly changing community. DougR
