The stuff I believe you are labeling as B.S. is the very thing which makes the Mudcat the place most of us WANT to hang out. It would be a dreary place indeed if it became little more than a lyrics database and quick-question-simple-answer site. While there are some who prefer to visit a bare bones place, it has become quite evident that most of us prefer to visit a place which is furnished with amenities such as comradship, humor, compassion, and an amazing array of expertise. If you consider yourself to be among the former group, I am sure you can find another site more amenable to your requirements.
