I think the main difference between you and me, Guest ADM, is that I am happy enough to want to support the Mudcat without getting involved in its administration. I already get something which is well worth supporting from it. I don't think Max is getting rich of the proceeds (in the unlikely event that there are any) of Mudcat. However, I wouldn't give a damn if he was. I have already received a great deal. I do not want to shout down any defence of democracy of any kind. On the other hand, there is plenty in this world which seems to be rolling along quite cheerfully without any need of my advice or input. Sometimes passive democracy (choosing to let good things roll along as they are) works just fine. I barely get time to read a quarter of the threads. I hope you are happy wherever else you go. If you do not like it there, you may well return to find Mudcat flaming, trolling and rolling along. Cheers!
