Mr Doug Ok ... lol your researching is impressive and I am delighted that the Muddie is still a folkie's site. But you are still way off about when I began posting. Back in those wild Muddie days we had many names you don't know such as the other Doug?? See it ain't as easy as you think.

Also I suspect but cannot prove that some of the current GUEST postings are real members or exmembers having a giggle. Seriously when a person gets on this site and poses as an authority on the origin of folk songs/tunes, or an expert in some folk stuff, some of us out here who know the facts may express a little doubt, even if only in the form of a bloody good laugh.

Sometimes members take themselves too seriously in the company of wags, wits and clowns which in life survive by amusing not informing!
