Have you ever tried to describe to a noncatter how much this place means to you? They look at you like you are crazy and pathetic. I absolutely love the interaction we have here. Recently I was visiting with a friend of 15 years and it occured to me that I know less about his true feelings than I do at least 50 people on Mudcat. Something about this forum encourages openness. Thanks for the thread Amos, and thanks to all of you catters out there that somehow make this place work
