From my perspective this place is generally great. I'm sure anybody - certainly me - can be less generous on occasion than we ought to be, but overall, I don't see near the hostile ego-tripping put-downs that I've encountered elsewhere in cyberspace. In fact the general tone of friendliness & amazing erudition is pretty fantastic!

Having said that, I'm sure the situation w/regard to naming threads & using the database could be better, and sometimes better handled, but over-all it's OK. Are there "dumb" threads? I suppose so, from a given perspective.. but you don't have to read much of one - or respond. I just think it's pretty mellow.

I also think that if Jenny can talk abt what happenned to her here, even if not in possibly traumatic detail, it's a good sign abt the health of the Mudcat.

Jenny: don't let the scum gt you down.

Cheers, BK
