Some of the mudcatters have 'shop' written below their names. what is it for and what does it do? I clicked on one. are the lists of records ones which feature the mudcatter in question, or just some which the mudcatter has for sale?

Thanks.

None of the above. It is a little program that picks up on keywords in the text of your message and then clicking on them will send you to the Mudcat store where you can find that song or record available. Obviously it will also pick up on just the random use of words and tag it so the things that come up in green have nothing to do with your post at all. I'll throw in the name Caroline here and when this message posts, the program will bring that one up because there are things at the Mudcat store using the name.

You know, kat, that Northwest Passage might have come up if it were spelled curructly (BG).
