"certain people from www.session.org have assumed this thread is specifically about itm, at no time in my original post did I say it was".
No - you said "can accompanists lift THE MUSIC" - see "Subject" above.
To most contributers at that website "the music" primarily refers to Irish traditional music. If you didn't want us to contribute, you should have been more specific, - what did you mean by "the music" ? - and actually membership of "thesession.org" does not exclude any of us from contributing to discussions here - unless it turns into a pointless vendetta, which the moderator has made reference to above.
I wouldn't want to be seen as party to that, so this is my final comment on this thread.
