Winger's question about JC's claim about Nelson's funeral seems petty, but in point of fact, but that comment has already spurred a discussion on another, non-folk music forum--Discussion of Jim Carroll's Nelson Funeral Allegation on Nelson and His World.

Though he hasn't mentioned it, Winger knows of this discussion, because one of his posts above contains a directed citation, and I suspect that JC knows of the thread as well, since he responded directly to it--bad internet etiquette on Winger's part to cut and paste without referencing the source, and imprudent, because it is very easy for anyone to google it--

My point is simply that Mudcat is the most cited folk music source on the web, and if generally comes up within the first four threads on google, so every petty, ill-thought, and nasty remark made here becomes very public--

I would never tell anyone what to say, of course, but I think that it is important to remember that the comments carry a long way.
