Well, like I say, it may be a purely subjective impression, but I think the current division is distracting some old friends and acquaintances into lurking too long in the BS swamp, and not visiting the sunlit uplands of the music threads as often as I would like. I can get 80 posts in no time about the verbal use of nouns down in BS, and a miserable 5 or 10 when I've tried to discuss Iraqi or Zimbabwe musicians making folk music in Britain. So I guess I'm just having a whinge, but I feel it would have been different in the Good Old Days of a couple of weeks ago.
