WAV, somewhere I believe you said you'd been involved with folk music for I think 3-4 years. I don't have time to go back through all the recent threads to check this, and if I've got this wrong then I apologise. I've been involved with it for approaching 40 years, so from my perspective the time you've put in is low, but I realise you're younger than me.

I said your research appeared to be "mostly" on the internet. I'm sure you've used books as well, but since you usually justify your claims by references to the internet rather than books it seems fair to assume that this your primary source. Your knowledge of some of the major reputable sources seems fairly limited, based on what you've said on here. Again, if this is incorrect I'm happy to be proved wrong.
