No Janie. It's me.

I did a check on my own posts a few months back and found a very large number of threads in which my last post was the last post.

It is rather a tedious thing to look at, but I was mildly depressed that month.

I can also claim a couple in which LiK replied to my last post (my fault of course) and her post in reply terminated the thread.

sonnet 160 of 288 to my last muse...

Sonnet 07/05/04                         CMX

In blossoms heart a simple beauty finds,
With shape and color to attract the eye.
In these gardens, thought of my muse reminds
That hope might pleasure lend, to tears deny.
Breeze, perfumed, soothes a weary heart, to ease
The aches of everyday. Still, I would share
All I have found: A calm, to senses please,
And thoughts of one whose dreams are key to Care.
Sun filtered by new leaves provides a light
To show desire: A shade of bright that lends
More than a hint of longing to my sight.
Do dreams offer a future when tears end?
I plant desire, and wait for dream to grow,
But will I ever touch of my muse know?

I did write a column, though, for the local newspaper for about a year one time. I had attracted their attention with my letters to the editor. They contacted me and offered me a job writing the Business column.

I went in and talked to the editor and said, "I would rather write almost anything than the business column. I am completely uninterested in business."

"What would you like to write about?" he asked.

"Life in general," I said. "Society, politics, people, philosophy, religion, culture, stuff like that."

"Okay," he said, "we'll have you write a weekly 'Life' column, and you can write about anything you want."

That turned out to be a lot of fun.

A thread can be killed using a number of techniques or modes:

The Unanswerable Question Mode - Unanswerable questions come in two forms. First, there are questions that are so profound no answer is possible. Unfortunately, nobody on this forum has ever asked such a question, so it is irrelevant to this discussion. Far more common is the question that is unanswerable because it's so full of grammatical and spelling errors that nobody can understand what the hell it's asking.

The Definitive Answer Mode - The definitive answer is so complete, perfect, and all-encompassing that adding something else would only detract from its perfection. Actually, this has only happened once in the history of the Mudcat, but it's frequently used as a psychological defense mechanism by thread killers. It's easier to say "Hah! I aced that one! Nobody can even think of a reply!" than it is to admit that you suck and nobody really likes you.

The Out of Touch Mode - This is the mode favored by people who are prone to buying a pair of shoes only to discover weeks later that they are, in fact, the last remaining pair in a style that was popular a year ago and that no right-minded person would be caught dead wearing today. Unfortunately, that description fits a very large number of Mudcatters. They are the people who insist on "adding" something to a thread even though everything that could possibly be said on the subject has already been said.   

The Posting Under the Influence Mode - Postings made by those posting under the influence are frequently so incoherent, morose, or bilious that anyone reading them feels the immediate need for either two aspirin and a short nap, or two antacid tablets and a long walk. Either way, no reply to the post gets made.

The "Hey Mom, Look at Me!" Mode - This mode is used by those who post something not entirely related to the subject at hand in an attempt to draw attention to themselves. Such posts frequently receive no reply because nobody likes a smart-ass.

[That waffle reminds me:   I'm hungry!]

No problem, Little Hawk. Just tweakin' your nose.

Good to hear that you're getting published. Sounds good.

Except for some stuff I chipped out on clay tablets a few thousand years ago, my first recent published work was, sadly, sort of an obit for an old friend, published in the "Last Chorus" section of Sing Out!   It surprise the heck out of me when, about the same time it appeared, I got a check in the mail from them.

Lately, most of my stuff has been published in Victory Review, a more-or-less local music magazine, in a column called "Musical Traditions." It's Stewart Hendrickson's column ("Stewart" here on Mudcat). He found that cranking out an article every month was getting a little much. He spotted some of my posts here on Mudcat and asked me to do some guest articles. Seventeen so far, at last count. Also had stuff published in "Letters to the Editors" columns in various newspapers, mostly bitching about one political situation or another.

On the book (sort of a memoir—more or less centering on reminiscences of the folk scene in this area in the 50s and 60s and beyond), I've got about 120,000 words written so far. First draft. Gonna require some serious editing.

Now back to our regular broadcast. . . .

Have you read Dylan's "Chronicles"?

Subject: RE: BS: Whose posts kill a thread the quickest?
From: Don Firth
Date: 28 Jul 07 - 06:22 PM

Chronicles : Vol. I   by Bob Dylan (I presume that means there'll be a Vol II). Hadn't heard of it. Thanks for the tip, Little Hawk. I just looked it up on Amazon and it sounds good. I'm putting that next on the reading list.

I'm currently wading my way through Rainbow Quest, by Ronald D. Cohen.

I noticed that in Baby, Let Me Follow You Down by Eric Von Schmidt and Jim Rooney, they have one of those weirdo maps (reflecting what people think) showing where all the folk music activity was talking place. Seattle and the Pacific Northwest in general are not even on it. There was a huge scene here in Seattle and another in Portland, Oregon, not to mention Bellingham, WA, and both Vancouver and Victoria, B.C.

I'm hoping that what I'm working on will help to repair that omission.

I think that John Ross, another Seattleite who posts here from time to time, is working on something, too;   something a bit more formal that what I'm writing.

P. S. I've lived here since I was nine years old, but I was born in Los Angeles. Does that make me an "artificial Seattleite?"

"Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" is pretty good. I read it a couple of years ago. Bob Dylan's "Chronicles - Volume 1" is a stunning piece of writing, in my opinion. My God, what a memory for detail the man has! He also is very respectful and complimentary toward the many fine musicians who preceded him or were his contemporaries. His absolute love for the musical traditions and the whole scene, specially in the early days, comes through loud and clear. It's just a splendid book.

I'm not surprised there was a vibrant folk scene happening in the Pacific Northwest. It's always been a great area for that sort of thing.

I can add more thread-killer methos to Bee-dubya-ell's interesting list.

The Please-Refer-to-My-Previous-Answer-Which-you-stdiously-avoided Method.

   Self-explanatory - don't know why.

The I-Quite-Agree-with-You Method.

   Works very well when in the midst of an apparent row. Best if the sgreement is genuine.

The Other Person's Methods method.

Sort of mental judo, where you use the other's own methods on themselves.

The Elephant-in-the-Room Method.

Where you mention the one thing everyone else is hoping no-one will mention because it'll ruin/undermine the continuing argument.

The Hypocrisy Method

Like the previous method, best used if it appears to apply to everyone else. Neat if you include yourself. Then you've shot the only fox in town.

The Esoteric Method.

Where you solve the problem of the thread by alluding to an area outside eveyone else's mindset. Helps, for this one, to be an alien.

Sonnet 1 of 2 to K Colleen



Sonnet 09/05/01                                DXLVIII

I read your words, and my dreams try to feel
The coolness of soft silk, and warmth of skin:
I would reach out, and with sweet kisses seal
My heart, that I might heart's desire win.
As soft, and subtle scented as a rose,
But without thorns, you pull me to your soul.
I touch, with lips and tongue, yet hope heart knows
How much these dreams can of my hopes take toll.
I reach to touch you, but words do not hold
The softness of your lips, nor feel of hair.
How can I taste skin, or let fingers fold
With yours, when only written words we share?
Would you, then, drive me crazy with desire
When distance and some years prevent love's fire?

I was glad to see how many 'catters feel that they've killed (or "had the last word" in) more than their share of threads. I've had that experience too many times, and it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one.

I've been participating only sporadically since August 29, 2005 (Katrina), so I haven't been finalizing as many discussions as I used to.

There have been a few instances when I may have satisfatorily summed up a discussion; I don't feel so bad about "thread-killing" in those cases.

But there seem to have been many more instances when I had truly hoped to get an answer, or to stimulate further discussion, only to be ignored and to see the thread drop down, down, and off the page, never to return.

I don't think mine haven't killed threads exactly, but I have this bad habit of taking time to reflect upon a matter before knowing what I really think-- even though I THINK I know what I think as soon as I see the thread title. :~) But this habit of continuing to reflect has often brought me to add a thought to a thread that, as far as its other posters are concerned, has already run its course. So my "last post" is either stunning people with its revolutionary, amazing new viewpoint or, more likely, is not seen by the folks who just don't care about that topic any more.
