I agree with all of the above. I would also add that one of the great benefits of Mudcat is the people I've met. I didn't stay with my face stuck in front of the computer screen. I went to places that I would never have discovered otherwise.

However, I think the Guest who asked if Mudcat was serving a purpose has come in for some undeserved abuse. It was a fair question. We ought to be able to explain why Mudcat is useful. I don't think this person was a troll.
