Azizi,

Perhaps it would help people searching here for posts about African music if you could describe how you found these posts, so they could look them up, too.

How will you handle avoiding splitting discussions between this thread, if people post here or further discuss the posts you have quoted instead of going back to the respective threads they came from, to comment there? That did come up a few times in the early days of the Spirituals permathread-- as you might recall, I went back to those originating threads and reposted people's comments there to keep those discussions together.

Joe Offer's stated policy has been that no existing thread can be become a permathread-- that a permathread has to be made that way from the outset in cooperation with Joe for activating it and having the necessary editing tools activated.
