Susan,

I suppose you are referring to my comment that

"However, I do think that any individual or group who would sing such songs using that dialect nowadays should know that using such dialectic songs would likely cause a great deal of offense."

-snip-

Perhaps you are right "that stuff posted at Mudcat with dialect intact is not sung that way by 99.99999% of present and potential future Mudcatters."

If so, great.

I suspect that people who are not present or even future Mudcatters also read these threads. If so, my comment is also addressed to that population.
