I accept guest into my home often. I treat them with the respect that I would give anyone, unless they prove unworthy of that respect. In that case, they are removed from my home. Anyone who refuses to give me his name will never enter into my home. He gets no respect, no favors. He gets the door closed in his face.

At the Mudcat Cafe, I respond to guests often. I try to find lyrics, etc., that they may seek...if they sign a name. If they are "nameless" guest, I totally ignore them. Nothing they have to say interests me, therefore I do not even read any posts written by the nameless one(s).

Upon opening a thread created by a nameless guest, I immediately close the thread.

I am khandu, my e-mail address, my photo and my given name are posted in Mudcat Personals. I have, in the past, posted under other names, perhaps even as a nameless guest. As I became more accustomed to the Mudcat Cafe and realized that it was a community in which I desired to be a part, I dropped such practices.

The Cafe is a great place to visit, a wealth of information can be found here. Equally as wonderful is the wealth of personalities that is here. I love this place. I intend to continue to drop in often.

To any nameless guests I say this, There is no need to be nameless. Even typing one letter in the "name box" identifies you and separates you from other nameless guests, and cuts down confusion when other nameless guests post on the same thread.

If you (nameless ones) want to respond to what I have said, feel free. But I will not see the response. I will continue to ignore your posts.

To all other Guests, welcome. Any help I can give, I will do so cheerfully.
