I agree with you Celtic Soul (I hope you don't class me as one of the angry ones - I'm perfectly calm!)

The most knowledgeable may have stopped posting entirely. I wouldn't know and it is unfortunate if it is true. But all that is really needed, as CS says, is that there are some here who are more knowledgeable than me - not that difficult really! - for it to be worth spending some time here. (I used to subscribe to rec.folk.music back in the late seventies by the way, so I may be one of the cool folk who used to hang round Usenet - what an appalling thought!)
