just remember to check dates on postings - because our archive goes back to the beginning; and some of the threads get revived years later.

Welcome! Enjoy.

Don't take anything personally, and remember that there are a lot of friendly "feuds" going on. You'll catch on, and it it gets too bad the moderators ("Joe Clones") kick in.

Hi, Stuart. Good to see somebody new around here, since most of us are older than dirt. If you look up the term "old farts" in an illustrated dictionary, you'll probably find a group photo of almost the entire Mudcat membership.

One further word of advice: not everyone here is actual liveware. There is quite a variety of siliconware; I just noticed that Gluon (a duckdog who lives in...someplace) has again posted on MOAB. If you dare to venture to MOAB (The Mother Of All BS Threads) click on the little "d" by the number -- don't try to read all of it and remain sane.

Stuart, you should probably be made aware that there is a chimpanzee who posts on this forum frequently as a "Guest". His name is Chongo Chimp, and he's running for president of the USA. If you are an American you should definitely give his campaign a good look, because Chongo stands for CHANGE! Change like you've never seen it before. Sure, Obama is cool, and he's a great speaker. Sure, McCain reminds you of those old war movies from WWII. But forget all that. If you want to really make a change that counts and end specism, vote for the American Primate Party and Chongo Chimp! Put a REAL chimp in the White House this time!

Welcome to Chaos Central, Stuart. Thanks to this site, I have made some of the best friends in the universe. I've also been gently pushed, prodded, and poked into singing in front of other people. Sometimes people can get snarky on here, but if you ignore them, they really do go away.

And another welcome from sunny Albuquerque. The vast majority of the population here is from the US, the UK or someplace else where they allegedly speak English, although we also have at least one Chinese, assorted non-Anglo Europeans, an Icelandite (Icelandean? Icelander?) and - oh yeah - a bunch of Canadians. We are divided by our common language, but we do have fun. Don't forget to visit upstairs once in a while - the sheer musical talent and knowledge that you can find here is astounding!!
