McGrath, you are a bit slow on the uptake aren't you? The point of having a moderated forum is the disrupters are kept out from the gitgo, hence you don't have to put up with them. EVER! Jon's forum will be free of all the things you regularly complain about: anon guests, trolls, etc. The only catch: you have to talk about folk music, not BS!

YYYYYIIIIIPPPPPEEEEE!

I haven't joined yet, as I'm about to leave this temp internship I'm at, and so won't be at this computer but for a few more days. But good god, it is damn peaceful and calm reading there! I love it already. Prefer it to both rec.music.folk and Mudcat. Once it is in full flight, I doubt I'll spend much time in either of my previous haunts. The serious music discussions free of flamers and trolls and BS will be there. No other place like it on the web!

As to the whinging...show me a group of human beings anywhere, in any setting, that never engages in this???
