Folknacious, I am not Emma.

I am a member here who is sometimes dismayed by cliquishness and an insider-outside attitude to those who are not regulars. Folk Music is a small world-it's sad if people with common interests can't agree, disagree, and welcome newcomers without creating this sort of in group out group dynamic.

I note that you are posting as a guest--I would have preferred to send this by PM if you had been logged in.
