Thanks leprechaun! Sorry 'bout the crass poem, but the crass nature of the guest's demeanor seemed to kinda waiting for an opinion, so I gave him one mine...of himself... I dont mind the conspiracy theories much, I get a kick out of 'em, I guess... But what pisses me off about the 'guest in question' is that he/she is pedantic rather that conversational, overbearing rather than congenial, paranoid rather than insightful, rude instead of pleasant, ...and pompous beyond Bobert's wildest dreams! I also have a distinct impression that the 'guest in question' has no love of folk/trad music, and is posting as a guest to hide his/her identity from mudcatters rather than... In short, this guest is the agent provocateur of our own internet age, and is stirring the pot... to elusive recipes...I too wish he/she would go away... Please guest? Yes, I once said recently, that it is tame here at the mudcat... and for good reasons! (sez I, just figuring out the protocall a bit...) ttr
