I agree with McGrath on this.

IMO, the music section is an invaluable resourse for all interested in folk music and as such should be as widely availble as possible. For this reason, I have no problem with non members posting, or indeed the sharing any contributuions I might make.

When it comes to BS however, I tend to see this as discussions I am having with people I have come to know, to trust, and in many cases, who I feel are friends (even though I have to date only met one person here). For this reason, I have always believed that non members should not be allowed to post in this section.

I understand of course that the nature of this medium is such that anyone out there can 'listen' in on these conversations, and I accept this. However, that anyone and everyone who visits the forum should be encouraged to take a proactive stance in sharing these conversations anywhere and with anyone they wish is a step too far for me.

I therefore believe that the facility to post by non members should be removed from the BS section , and that the facility to 'share this thread' should be removed from the BS section altogether.
