The majority of your contributions this and other forums (fora if you wish to be pedantic) appear to be your 'pretext for displaying musical superiority' - in other words( or in your own words) 'showing off'!

Other posters manage to offer alternative views and points for discussion without being condescending or sarcastic.

You don't know me from Adam, have never heard me sing, yet you choose to put me down by insinuating that I might 'wander off into an uncontrolled warble' that I might 'lead off with that one' and that I would be 'wearing my historical knowledge and vocal training on my sleeve' (Actually I have no idea what you mean by that last part?)

In an earlier post you state that 'the old tune was crap' and in a more recent one you state that the tune 'has only become popular in the last five years since being used on Sex in the City' (I believe that that Mairi Campbell and David Francis were also invited to sing it in The White House?)
Your taste obviously differs from mine, I much prefer singing the full song to the older tune - and I learned it about 34 years ago from the singing of Jean Redpath at the Heritage of Scotland Summer Schools at Stirling - along with many other people who have an affinity with Robert Burns and the songs and tunes he collected as well as the words he wrote.

The next time you want to express an opinion, please refrain from nastiness - and remember not to state something as a fact when it is just - your opinion!
