Over on the accompanying "Rah-Rah" thread that generally accompanies these "Hiss-Boo" threads I said I was reassured that all is okay because we keep doing this as regular as clockwork. Going back, I was tempted to start a few years ago and create links to all the threads similar to this one, but the task was too daunting.

Ya' know, I'm not as active now as I have been at times. I may get that way again or I may fade away entirely.......Who cares? The 'Cat will be what it is and what we make it........Not individually, but collectively. How we take that "collective" is what affects our attitudes......and those that wish to mold the 'Cat the way they want it will always be carping and moaning. Some will leave. Some will stay. If you leave tomorrow, I can't help it and I really don't give a ratsass and if I leave tomorrow, you can't help it and why should you give a ratsass? As Jeri mentioned....the river flows on with or without us.

I have no regrets over losing people who have pissed and moaned about the place even if they were god's own gift of knowledge for all things. Fuck 'em. The entire argument over whether to split or not to split is pretty wasted too because we could have 27 forums and someone would be pissed because someone mentioned Woody in a pure trad forum. If we had 27 we'd need 30....witness how the permathread idea caught on.

Try to enjoy what's here and if you don't try to at least let others. Almost everyone above has said that they find something here for each of them....Great! If you're tired of it, leave....If you love it, stay. The guy Joe mentioned was a pain in the ass because he was completely absorbed in himself. Read the threads and make your comments but try to let other folks do the same.

I suppose that'll do til the next Hissboo thread comes along..........Feel free to disagree. I don't give a shit and you have every right to do so!! Enjoy.
