Thread Name: Scholarship? new DT of any value?
Subject: RE: Scholarship? new DT of any value?
Yes, not the last word, but why not? or why not the nearest to the last word possible? why not attempt to do something well? Why, if the information is available, and shared by others, and posted in threads, continue to publish misinformation, half truths, non truths, unsubstantiated and verifiably false claims? WHY? Why should Jean Ritchie or Art Thieme, or anyone else for that matter contribute a 'fact' to a general discussion if the 'facts' are ignored and not incorporated into the searchable database? seems like a waste of time otherwise, just some folk music drivel inserted into the general stream of Shatner, flatulence, middle aged ego reality checks, etc. just another internet chat site? shouldn't be, could be so much more, could be a database of reliable information that could be used as a research tool. Or am I expecting too much?
