Back in the early years of Mudcat, there were some "regulars" who really knew a lot about folk music, and I wonder what happened to them. Abby Sale isn't around much any more, but he does look in.
I haven't seen RichR or Tim Jaques in years, the guy named Bill who always used to sign things with, "Allinkausay, Bill."

Then there's Shula and Rechal and Sheye and Cuilinonn (sp?). I wonder how they are.

And yes, I have heard that some respectable folk song researchers are reluctant to associate their names with the nastiness that goes on at Mudcat. I wish I knew how to resolve that, and still maintain an atmosphere of free expression.
