Oh, dear, oh
Joe Offer's got no courage in him!    (insert silly smiley face thing here)

Come on, Joe, you have to stop "figuring" so much. You see, I think that's part of the problem---"they"'ve got to you. So what if they mistakenly accuse you of blatantly censoring my post? That's their problem, not yours. Unless you need a recommendation from Mudcat members to get into college...which somehow I doubt. Relax! The 'Cat will be what it will be, and will become what it will become, and if you try to push it, and keep worrying about whether people will like you, you'll just wear yourself out.

I like you. Lots of people like you. And some people don't. BFD. You've been doing a good job...but I think that by trying to "keep the Forum from degenerating" you're making your job much harder than it has to be. The Forum won't degenerate: too many people appreciate it too much. And even if it does...we'll still keep making music, and we'll find some way to connect. It's too much fun not to.

Aloha (and I mean that sincerely),
Mark
