Hi, Uncle Jaque - yeah, it's best if songs are posted only once. If you post a song twice, it doubles the burden on the people who harvest and process songs for submission to the Digital Tradition. If you want to call attention to a song you posted previously, use the "filter" or "Forum Search" to find the old thread. You can bring an old thread back to life by posting a new message to it. If you have nothing new to say, just put "refresh" in the body of the message.
Our general policy here is "one song, one thread" (not that people follow that policy very well). It's best if the lyrics, tune, and all discussion of a song are in the same thread. If it's split among several threads, it's hard to have a quality study of a song.
Whenever you post a song at Mudcat, it is immediately available to everyone who takes the time to search. We do not incorporate songs into the Digital Tradition Folk Song Database immediately, since we edit submissions to the database in an attempt to make it a more credible resource.
