I would not..

re: "Let's be tolerant within limits, let the powers that be tell those who make requests beyond the pale of other sites and let it go at that."

that is what happens anyway....no one is likely to STOP you making your requests...all my grumps can't affect what you do in the slightest. I am very glad to see that you do know and appreciate traditional music. I only try to keep the issue alive. Like activists in other causes, I would not do it if I did not believe it is important.
