I think the medium magnifies. Max's design within the medium magnifies it further. It's a 220 line, not a battery pack, the Mudcat.... so it can have a big effect, what one puts in the pipeline.

How I deal with it is that when I am fed up with music work here, at home, of which there is quite a bit (songsheets, lotta pain in the arse stuff).... then I Mudcat and trust that my mind is working on the rest, in the background. I return to it, refreshed, with new ideas and new energy. And-- when Mudcat is all stinky poopy, I take that as a sign it's time to do some more songsheet maintenance, renew some of the work on the spirituals project, and so forth.

I feel bad for people who only know "Stay" or "Leave" as approaches. But you know-- it's their choice. And we, who are friends with folks who wander off, are always free to message them back to good threads.

So yes, I think it has gotten pretty stinky-poopy, but I think it's just gonna be what it's gonna be, and that the best we can do as individuals is keep getting smarter and wiser about things in our lives, including Mudcat. You know, TRUST THAT, even when it doesn't seem evident-- cuz that is human nature, as well as being poopy.
