Hello Mick, I try to avoid reading the bottom but have just learned my name has been brought into this stupid thread.
Just for the record, every gripe I had about the operation of this place was resolved . It is a shame I made an enemy of myself in doing so and perhaps issuses would have been addressed anyway. For the record, the issuses were mostly poor (IMO) security, failure to deal with constant bitching over BS (some form of split or filtering was clearly the only way the matter could be resolved and I like the solution), and what I considered to be general neglect. I for sure wish I didn't go as far as I did in my attempts but that is life...
I've no regrets over starting folkinfo which is slowly but surely building up a collection of songs in abc format and while I do choose not to post as a member here, there is no animosity between the sites that I'm aware of. T'was only the other day we had someone asking about chords to some Andean tune and I pointed them here to get a wider audience...
Joe and his censorship policy has rarely been an issue to me. I don't think any 2 people are ever going to agree on every deletion action but overall, Joe very much has my respect in this department and always has had.
