Anyone can hold trivial opinions Will; most of us do, and in casual conversation we will offer all sorts of half baked ideas without real justification. What bothers me is that here there are demonstrably wrong opinions tied into what appears to be a rather unpleasant agenda purporting to represent the English Folkie.

That's why I keep posting: I don't want anyone to accept these ideas as typical of the folk movement in any way.

Part of me wants to respond to improve the guy's education, part of me to disassociate myself from his pontifications
