Just a few points arising.
I had wondered when Joe would move this to B/S. Although it IS imho directly about the music we love, it has turned a bit introverted of late.
My idea of signing as FAF Andy arose when chatting with another MBS person. We are proud of our standing in the British folk scene. The suspicion is that BNP tagged on to MBS George because of her "title" it certainly stirred us up.
Interestingly some who wish to converse with George already know her personally. I have known her since she was very much younger and would be very interested to find where she came by her, to me, repulsive views.
While it may be her "right" to continue to use the prefix MBS, I am not alone in now finding it insulting to many old friends.

I agree with WYSIWYG, though, that it would not be good for George for her to join in with open converstaion on a Mudcat thread.
