no one gives a flying fuck about your opinion, my opinion, or any opinion that has been posted here

On the basis that "no one" includes you, Ron, I'm slightly hurt. Then again, on the understanding that "no one" includes me, I don't have to pay any attention to your opinion - so never mind.

Still. Just between us Mudcatters, in the full awareness that hardly anyone outside the hallowed virtual precincts of this site gives a damn, what do you think the definition of 'folk' is? Or do you think it's better left undefined? It's just that it seems to me (just between us Mudcatters, etc) that leaving it undefined has had deleterious consequences, particularly in terms of limiting people's exposure to traditional music. You may not be an enthusiast for traditional music, in which case you won't necessarily think that's a problem, but I am and I do. Obviously the opinion of one keyboard-bashing traddie isn't going to change the world, but I think it's worth expressing - just between us Mudcatters, you understand, and in the full awareness that hardly anyone outside the hallowed virtual precincts of this site gives a damn.
