I know it starts with the BBC so it's probably legit, but please let us know what the thought behind the link is so we have an idea whether or not we want to navigate away from Mudcat. |

It's a free exchange of ideas for people who can express themselves without restriction. (Within the boundaries of good taste and consideration for other's feelings). It can be controversial. It's democratic. |

21 May 10 - 09:56 AM (#2911236) Subject: RE: Just Put In A Good Word for Mudcat From: Jim Dixon Somebody on that forum wrote "Don't do Mudcat" in the middle of a long paragraph comparing different web sites—and somebody else panicked, thinking Mudcat was being slandered. I don't think so. I think he meant "I don't do Mudcat" and dropped the "I" in the informal way that many people do, as in "Haven't had breakfast yet" or "Been there, done that." |

The BBC site seems oddly clumsy compared to the Mudcat - for example only able to see at most 25 thread links at a time. The Cat may look simple but it's dead clever. |
