Shimrod, I said women might be a better judge of a folk song than men who are inclined to pedestals of one kind or another and strict definitions, even in the arts it seems.

You then said, in a retort worthy of a High Court judge in Private Eye "Who is 'Keef Richard'"?

I'm beginning to understand, slowly, what we're dealing with here.
