We must keep access to the music free and reject any theory that says that quality is more important than the songs.

Unless the quality is there people will not listen to the songs. Once people are hooked and start to become interested in studying the songs themselves, they may be prepared to overlook limitations in performance in order to seek out songs, but unless their first contact with folk is positive they will never get to that stage. People have to be attracted first by quality, then they may develop a more academic interest. Even then, when they want to listen to music for entertainment and relaxation, rather than academic study, quality is paramount.

You seem to regard folk music solely as something to be studied and conserved, like a rare species in a zoo, rather than recognising that it can and should be enjoyed as entertainment.

We must keep the doors open to those of all incomes especially the poor.

The doors are open to the poor. Read the posts. There are many free events, and where there is an entry charge this is usually far lower than for most other genres. The only reason you feel there is an economic barrier is your insistence on accompanying the music with gallons of beer and platefuls of food. It is the music which is important.

We can not give in to the temptation to raise up professionals as heros for worship and adoration.

The folk world manages to resist this temptation pretty well. Folk professionals have their feet on the ground and are approachable in the way few are in other genres. It is quite possible, quite normal in fact, for ordinary enthusiasts to be on first-name terms with internationally-recognised professional performers. How accessible are the professionals in other genres?

Respect, yes. Inspiration, yes. Unashamedly stealing their material, yes. Worship and adoration? No. Sorry guys.

We must all, no matter what the quality meet at the festivals as one family with access to all.

I don't know what festivals you go to, but you seem to have a very different experience from the rest of us. "One family with access to all" pretty much describes the atmosphere of most folk festivals I know. If you feel excluded, perhaps you should try some different festivals. Or perhaps you should consider whether this is due to your own behaviour and attitudes.

We should shun the entertainer performer relationship in favor of the teacher and learner.

Again, the distinction between entertainer/performer and audience is more blurred in folk than in possibly any other genre. Most performers do teach, not only by giving formal workshops but in explaining the songs and their provenance during performances.

All of these 'problems' exist only in your imagination. Yes, there are problems facing folk and preventing it from being more widely popular, but these are not them. In fact your solutions, especially your insistence that quality is not important, would add to the problems rather than solve them. You are so wide of the mark, it is laughable.
