Who are you, "The Shambles"?

Ian Anderson picked fights with a quite few people on uk.music.folk. We had a brief epidemic of posters whose theme song might have been "nobody loves me, everybody hates me, think I'll go and eat worms". Ian's bete noire Janet Ryan was another one. I don't think many of us actually did hate either of them.

There are at least two other Iain/Ian Andersons in the folk world: one is a presenter on Radio Scotland and the other is a youngish Scottish musician. I think all of the others are better than the crap flute player.
