Jim - the thread on Walter is 459 posts long - much of it consisting of arguments between Pseudonymous and you. That would have been 459 more posts to go through on this thread for the many people who have no or little interest in Walter (and no interest in your feud with Pseud) but want to discuss what is happening now in the second decade of the 21st century. As it happens I have skimmed through the discussion on that thread but I imagine many here haven't and have no wish to.

It made perfect sense to make that a different thread - there was certainly no disrespect in my comment that such a detailed discussion should be held elsewhere. I find it intensely irritating that you keep bringing this matter up as if some great disservice has been done. It has not! I have never disparaged Walter Pardon in the way you frequently disparage many musicians who are performing folk and folk related music today
