I have no problem with the merits of SJ, who I would gladly see anytime (I'm still considering going to see him on Sunday as it happens). And my respect for breezy is know to be boundless.

But what's the point of Joe setting up the editable club Permathreads to prevent proliferation of short-term advertising threads if you go and put up short-term advertising threads as well. Seems to defeat the object. Now I know that the prospect of one thread adverising a night is anathema to breezy, but he could stick to his usual practice of additional advertising by hijacking other threads instead of putting up new ones.

Which reminds me, that if I do come on Sunday, I won't be playing any of the classical guitar duets that I'll be playing in Chesterfield on June 4th with Janet Quick, a concert which will include some of my arrangements of Northumbrian folk songs for classical guitar duet.
