I can't see ANY thread about this year's White Horse Folk Festival skipy, either above or below the line.

Perhaps if you post a new thread with details of this year's event, making clear it is a folk festival, it will get positive attention?

I am absolutely sure that placing of a thread on the Mudcat is totally unrelated to the smoking habits of its poster.

(By the way, I have no idea of the smoking habits of the organisers of any of the festivals I go to. If they choose to smoke that is up to them, as long as doesn't disturb anyone else.)
