Sorry if you found my contributions confrontational, Bob: they were not meant to be.

If you look in the other thread, you'll find I say that whatever it's origins may have been, Lamorna now is a Cornish song. The fact that it has achieved Cornishness by naturalisation rather than by birth may well be known to both you and me, and has been said already in the other thread.

You say I for one would rather endlessly repeat for the benefit of those who don't know slam a newcomer making a contribution however uninformed - that was my intention here, to repeat, not to slam.

And like you, I think a century of folk processing has produced an improvement on the original. But the original is still the original.
