From: Bill D Some 'other' Fora (whatever) have a more focused outlook....specialty places with more rigidly defined & controlled objectives. Like grocery stores which sell a narrow range of products, they have their uses and adherents. Mudcat, by Max's choice, is a lot wider in it's scope...especially in the BS area...., thus it gets a lot of traffic. It is also 13 years old and had the database to attract folks. I, personally, wish there was less pop and rock & such tossed in, but Max doesn't want those restrictions, so *shrug* |

From: GUEST,leeneia Take a moment to contemplate the beauty of forams: elegant little creatures ======= In my ambles I have never come across anything quite like the Mudcat. Do you want a translation from medieval Catalan? A recipe that uses Marmite? Lyrics for a song your grandmother sang? The Mudcat is the place. |

(the egressus could be down and dirty) The Oxford English Dictionary has not yet come to terms with 'fora.' (What one shouts after one strikes a golf ball?) |
