I too am unsure why the editor of Froots feels the need to bash bonkers old Mudcat. As a marginally 'younger' person (or at least I was when I first arrived here...) I've enjoyed this place pretty much FOR it's bonkersness and tended to avoid the rather more sterile atmosphere of Froots. If I wanted to know serious stuff about folk music without the aggro, I'd probably head over to a more academic forum, such as the Tradsong forum that led me here in the first place.
