On the contrary, Winger, I think that, given the fact that the Nelson Question has taken on a life of it's own, outside of Mudcat, Jim should make every effort to find his source and, to whatever degree is possible, clear this all up.

As far as you are concerned, I only suggest that it is good internet forum etiquette to cite your source when you take something from another page, and, if possible, to post a blue clicky link.

My larger point, which I backed up with the link to the Nelson Forum above, is that the insults, scatological references, and four-letter admonitions resonate by way of Google through all of cyberspace, not necessarily to the credit of the folk music community--
