Okay Suzanne, some valid criticisms there. Perhaps we could start making some suggestions for what might be considered BS and what might not, after a few days we could have a clearer idea of what it means or could mean.

For me, if I were starting a thread and calling it BS it would have no immediate musical content, a different take on nationalism, for instance, that I think might be of interest to other mudcatters who have written to and read the thread "Do Americans Know". I think threads that are clearly asking a question about playing an instrument, dealing with a common situation that you might face in performing music or asking for songs of a particular type are not BS threads. These are only my own particular and peculiar guidelines and I have no intention of trying to force them on others.
