Ian Anderson at fRoots has consistently practised bipedalism; and just as consistently he has championed a broad-minded approach to folk traditions.

I'm one of the braindead Boring Old Farts who reads Mudcat and also subscribes to fRoots. Neither forum gives me all that I want, but I just ignore the bits that don't interest me without getting upset by them. Mudcat is a model of civility compared to some other boards, but there are still some parts of it which I don't feel compelled to read at all. Ian Anderson's comments on Mudcat and certain posters here were rather intemperate; if indeed it was his breakfast which upset him may I recommend a dose of Filboid Studge?
