May I suggest two boards?

One for the B.S. type people, call it Mud II. Or perhaps limiting "chat" to the "chat-room."

And the original Mud for those who were drawn here because it is viable alternative to "newgroups" and AOL..... and a legitimatly recognized source for MUSICAL information, MUSICAL dialogue, MUSICAL insight, MUSICAL expertise.

Mudders, Go back, count your own posts recorded in the directory. And then do a self assesment, are you "social" or are you "folk."

G.A.S.P. I for one am with you. You certainly got the BIRDS here to cackling when you kicked the hen house.
