Ah, thanks George, though I didn't really type it, just had to fix a few line breaks and all. Thanks for the new additions.

Say, there was another outstanding thread, just recently, which I had posted to, that I was going to add it to the list. Do you remember which one it was, by any chance? I think Masato posted to it and a few others, went for a good bit, too.

Thanks!

Another great batch, you folks! As usual, please check the links for your most recent contributions in the Permathread, to make sure I didn't enter something incorrectly.

This is getting a bit long and cumbersome for me to go back and forth to a second page for transfer, so I will probably start a Part Three pretty soon.

Thanks a bunch!

here is a thread about the origins you may have missed...I got it by search on the name 'Dennis Cook', who was one of the two instigators of putting songs on disk.

here is one more that may answer a few questions from the same search.

I seem to recall that Joe Offer asked several times, but I don't recall seeing an answer, about how the Mudcat acquired the DT, and was Mudcat in existence before the DT showed up.

Kat and George, I guess my humor ain't humorous; don't take it literally. One post seemed to complain that an outside link in one of the song threads wasn't working. Of course, you can't do anything about it; facetiously I was just suggesting one of those disclaimers you get with some purchases. You can't guarantee outside links that are in the posts on a thread.
Now you don't think I was serious about inventing a history for Banks of the Whatzis?

Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat -PART TWO
From:
Date: 19 Dec 01 - 04:28 PM

Dicho, my idea was to track threads within the Forum, and any links outside of Mudcat proper would have to be within the proper thread, rather than in this set of links. WE can open it up to links out of Mudcat, if people like.

Kat, I'm assuming that maybe a general one, which perhaps needs to be put into a general thread on Permathreads, if there is such.

Thanks Simon Pierre, that's a good one.

Good find, SP! Thanks.

Dicho, my head is really dull right now, please explain? Are you referring to my posting to MaryinKY about an outside link in one of the song threads linked into the permathread? If so, as I said, broken links, in general, should be reported on the Help Forum page. I am MOST concerned with the actual links in the alphabestised list. If any of them are broken, I would like to know about asap. Is this what you meant?

Thanks,

kat

Kat and George, after seeing the post in the permathread on links in postings, maybe you need a disclaimer: Not responsible for any failure to communicate with links outside Mudcat. No warranty is provided, either express or implied. Use these links at your own risk!
I'll try to invent some history and discussion for Banks of the Roses. (Let's see now; at the next Tournament of Roses Parade...)

Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat -PART TWO
From:
Date: 19 Dec 01 - 11:10 AM

Dicho, it does have the song in there, but there was no discussion of Banks of the Roses, so I chose to leave it off the link information.

From: katlaughing
Date: 19 Dec 01 - 09:41 AM

Dicho, not sure what you mean. I checked that link and it does got to a Loch Lomond thread. Do you mean the unrelated song is within that thread? If so, I'll cross-reference it. Thanks!
