Thanks, Mick, for putting it so well. Thanks, johnnyn!

Way back when in this thread, I posted a concern to Joe about the new consolidation of threads. I have also disagreed with him about the PEL threads. I thought they have been very important because of the impact on music. Those who have invested their time and care in this community by being here through thick and thin will remember that Joe and I have often knocked heads and how silly it is to think that myself, or indeed any of the other people mentioned: Mick, Jeri, Catspaw, etc., are the types to kowtow to anyone, let alone Joe.

FOR THE RECORD:

There are no government monies going into supporting Mudcat.

Janet Ryan said, why the secrecy about who is... I might ask her the same thing re' her myriad of postings as "guest."

I have NEVER hidden the fact that I am a clone.

Clones CANNOT read, nor access, members' personal information, including their email, UNLESS MEMBERS make it public for all to see in the Members' Info Section.

I NEVER delete a post of someone whom it may be perceived I may have a problem with, i.e. gargoyle. If I see a posting that is a personal attack, I will delete it, as clones are authorised to do, BUT I will always notify Jeff or Joe when I have done so.

If I see a questionable attack or cut and paste job, I will PM Joe about it. I do not delete, edit, nor move it.

Like Jeri said, I do fix links, delete duplicate posts, and fix bad html. I don't give a damn if anyone notices. I am glad to be of service.

And, finally, if someone has a problem with me or something they think I may have done, please PM me or take it up with Joe or Jeff. As Jeri said, we don't know if you don't tell us.

Thank you,

kat
