When? For me, in more naive days. I had even more naive days btw. I used to believe the quality of any product was always the most important factor in success but I was persuaded otherwise. Folk then had to be a sort of "magical exception". I suppose I could liken it to a belief that "folkies" were sort of some special breed of "super nice" people.

As it happens, I still retain a fair amount of faith in "folk" and "folkies" but I no longer believe either are exempt from the usual "rules" of the world we live in. To believe otherwise now would seem to be as realistic as a belief in the tooth fairy.

I seen now re the quote: It used came from me. Someone else did quote me in reply to my comments but that I was quoted was not clear.
