Dear Guest,

I will join in the call to ask you to join and pick a moniker. Yes, this forum has separate rules for unidentified guests. Too often they are only Flamers and Trolls. If you wish true serious discussion at some point you must "sign in" in a identifiable way.

Many of us have found ways to meet in the real world and have forged friendships that would other wise boggle the imagination.

It is a music forum and the best of the scholarship hereabouts deals with music. But as you've noted there is thoughful response in many areas.

That said if you choose to reject Max's (Above all else this is His site) free cookies. You can type in a consistet moniker next to guest. Having noticed you avoid flights of fancy I offer a few suggestions.

I considered several like Dr Spin, Marcus(Aurelius?), DubyaEBee, (to close to a current 'catter and too tounge and cheek for yur style), but how about WEBb.

Remember Jack Webb on Dragnet ( Just the Facts Mamam...) I cast my vote with the final selection. If you want to be part of the club, you have to join...
