I recently started a thread on American Blues artist Freddie King only for an American member to take the time and trouble to post and inform our forum only that - he had never heard of him.

Though quite why he would have thought posting that infrmation to be of interest to any other poster is not clear.

But perhaps it is less a matter of nationalites but is a selfish attitude that has developed on our forum. Posts would possibly be better received when they are showing our forum something of potential general interest - rather than when we are expecting only to see something of particular interest to us?

There are after all - PMs supplied for that.
