I don't think splitting Mudcat into two forums will be enough. I 'd like to propose the following six divisions for Mudcat:

1) Music threads- lyric requests, worship and dissing of Bob Dylan, discussion of obscurities such as whether Robert Johnson's G-string was slightly out of tune on "Love In Vain," etc.

2) Current events threads- Bush, Blair, Bin Laden, etc.

3) Mudcat threads- trolling, guests, Mudcat is great, Mudcat is lousy, etc.

4) Huckster threads- buy my CD, come to my show, etc.

5) Really stupid threads- farting in public, what color is your underwear, etc.

6) Mousethief threads

But, like all suggestions made by anyone else, these suggestions will be ingnored because Max, Mudcat's Supreme Exalted Ruler, has stated, time and again, that Mudcat's staying the way it is.
