Well, it looks like our unnamed Guest has gotten everything he could hope for--lots of Mudcatters responding to his nagging and sniping.

You log onto this thread first thing, right, GUEST, just to get the gratification of all of our responses? I'd guess that for you, this is as close to sexual gratification as you'll get as long as you're addicted to hanging around the virtual corners of the Mudcat Cafe, pouncing on posters whenever you feel like it. I doubt there are very many "GUESTS" of your ilk, quite possibly just you, but you've discovered how to push this large group of people toward critical mass and would love to see if you can push it over the edge.

I have enjoyed most of the other GUEST posts on threads at Mudcat, and don't want to see contributors offended because they choose to remain anonymous.

Obnoxious GUEST, I'm sure you'll have something particularly snide to say in response. You're so predictable that it's a sad, sad thing. Go get professional help.

Meanwhile, this thread has gotten too long. I'm outta here for a few days. Max, it's your operation, your energy, and as someone has said, it's your party. Anyone who thinks a democracy is run all out in the open and that everyone's vote counts equally is wearing blinders. For a privately run list this has been remarkably open. Do your best to keep it that way.
