It's very easy to join Mudcat...I did so, after a day or two as a guest here, since I was being accused by one or two members of being a "troll" (they obviously did not comprehend my sense of humour or my philosophy).

At the time, I was so completely inexperienced in online forums, etc., that I didn't even know what the word "troll" meant...I thought it meant a mythical monster found roaming the hinterlands in adult fantasy novels or lurking under bridges waiting for billy goats.

Anyway, I thought "Enough of this nonsense, I'll just become a member", and I have been ever since...
