I didn't say there wasn't "an agenda" on this thread. I think there's always an agenda in everything we do. Sometimes it's open, sometimes it's implicit, sometimes it's hidden.

I disagreed with akenaton's assertion that this thread's agenda could properly be described as trolling, and explained why. Then I indicated what I thought the implicit agenda was, and said I personally saw it as worthwhile.

"Colour" is one marker of some ethnic communities. It's been given an exaggerated and distorted significance, more especially in some parts of the world. Different types of musical tradition are another marker, and that's something which is clearly very relevant to the Mudcat.
