Shambs, I, too, missed your other thread. I now I am one of those whom you refer to as expressing too much in BS, etc. There have been plenty of discussions about politics creeping into folk music threads and the like.

Still and all, I have ALWAYS enjoyed your posts, even when we couldn't see eye-to-eye and I really hate to see you go. from what I've seen in the old threads, the Mudcat goes in cycles, much like life. In the 7 months I've been ehre I've seen it go from almost all music, to all BS, to a mix. I know the past week has been really difficult. I've almost dropped out, too, but I will not give up the wonderful friends and music just because of one or two nasty postings.

Your songs are always thought-provoking and heartfelt. I hope you'll come back. You will be sorely missed, for I've always looked forward to a thread with "Shambles" listed as a poster.
