Also interesting that the ratio between M's and F's hasn't changed all that much (about a third of us are female... Back on May 9, 1999, there were 90 M's and 41 F's responding -- also about a third).

Though internet wide, the online population is creeping closer to 50/50 (though we're not quite there yet). So, does that mean that the field of trad/roots music is male dominated in general?

...Or just that guys are more interested in answering surveys and breaking things down into demographics? ;-)
