MISTERQCUE is the chief networker/socialiser.
There is about 85% separation between members who post ONLY in the Cave and those who NEVER post there. There are people in there who don't post about anything related to recording any more ............ like me, for example.
Enjoy and don't take it too seriously - there are muppets, morons, geniuses and friends for life on this forum. Some of each have already posted in this thread!
