Norton1, when you are looking for lyrics for a song to sing, and want some background information on that song, is that not to be considered serious?

I disagree that the problems here can be non-chalantly dismissed because it Mudcat isn't intended to be an academic site. Nor are any of the best folk music sites on the Internet.

Or are defenders of Mudcat suggesting we should just accept the shoddy standards, and join the BS Shatner threads if we want to use the site?
