I'm a relic of the Radio 2 boards and was sometimes on the receiving end of some of Diane's more cutting remarks but I didn't mind as she was often very funny! I used to enjoy reading her comments and there's no doubt that she knew more about folk music than I ever will. I'll miss her.

I don't contribute to Mudcat now mainly because of the nastiness that used to be directed towards me but I am a lurker so I knew that Diane had been ill and I knew what was the matter with her.

I don't really believe that the Radio 2 folk message board was closed down because of the bickering. If I remember rightly, all of the boards were closed down to save money, including the Terry Wogan board. The Archers message boards have gone the same way.
