Where do you draw the line though? Segregation against the will of another exists even in Mudcat. Shambles for example might be very upset if he saw a post moved from the music section to the BS section.

An answer to that may well be "well it's Max's" forum, another might be that it is a rational logical split appropriate for the board. That applies to the BBC too, surely they have the rights to categorise as they feel fit and in a manner that to them feels logical for the needs of their site? I still think everything, even just everything musical in just one big board would be impossible there.

The issue raised by Lizzie, is based on a false premis though. Although I had assumed it was a categorising issue and would have been happy with the situation (unless applied with a rod of iron) as Folk is a genre lucky enough to be dedicated a section unlike soul for example, the opening question:

"Are you all happy for Folk And Acoustic music to be only spoken about on the Folk and Acoustic board?"

is wrong. The "Music Club" board does (a little to my surprise) attemt to cater for a variety of musical tastes and folk music has been discussed to some degree by others including myself without the problems Lizzie is encountering. To use these terms, so called "Folkies" and "non Folkies" have participated.
