And Mudcat didn't influence me to send a Secret Santa present to the U.S. from Oz. No way, not on your nellie! Why would I think that anyone would want a porcelain mug with an Oz bluegum design & a bottle of super-quality tea tree oil (melaleuca alternifolia) & 2 vintage new age books on magic & amulets?

Why would I read past postings from some Mudcatter I had never even exchanged views with in the forum, just so that I could find her some presents which I thought she would really like?

And why would some other Mudcatter do the same for me?

Nope. No infulencing* happening here. [*I like that word, mzkitty!].
