I see nothing alarming or untoward in Murray's reminding everyone of Burns Night. We remind our Mudcat friends of so and so's birthday all the time. Big deal.

You evidently have been around the Mudcat for awhile (though I suppose that it might be possible for one to just look in one time and pick up the insight you seem to have of the folks in this forum).

The third paragraph in your first post I find very interesting. You ask, "who is we?" We would like to know, who are you?
