"....So Lizzie, great respect. but, sniping about other message boards on Mudcat only makes you look a bit bitter...."

Actually Ralph....if you'd care to look....I've not been 'sniping' about Ian or his board. And far from being 'bitter' I've always found it quite amusing to have been banned for using Smilies! ;0)

I'm merely broadening the discussion about why the fRoots board has gone so quiet.

I'd suggest you join Jon's 'Lizzie Bashing' thread if you've anything further to say about me though. Thanks.....

Oh...and Ralph..by the way....I too have helped people on the R2 board you know....quite a few people have had the kindness to come over to Myspace and tell me that they've discovered all sorts of different music from reading some of my posts. It's interesting though isn't it, that despite me having written about dozens and dozens of musicians, singers, dancers etc....all you and the usual suspects ever 'throw at me' is Show of Hands or Seth Lakeman.

Why Ralph....as I remember, people even started to buy 'Flat Earth' because of what was being said on the R2 board, not in their millions admittedly, but perhaps...just now and again you'd care to take a look into some of the things I've said....

Take the blinkers off Ralph!

And I'm surprised you've not been over to try and help Ian sort out what the problem is, as he has specifically asked people, which I have to say I admire him for doing, because that can't have been an easy decision.

And now...back to the Lizzie Bashing from ALL the usual suspects!!

Although, I'd much prefer to keep on thread...but...whatever turns you on I guess.....
