I second the motion to create "net.music.folk", or something of
that ilk.  Net.wobegon became the repository of folk music discussion
due to it being closest in existing purpose (A Prarie Home Companion,
the radio program which the group is about, features various types of
folk music from around the U.S. and around the world), and being realtively
quiescent (i.e., few articles were being posted).

Folk music/dance and related arts discussions would do well to have
their own group, if not net.music.folk, then perhaps just net.folk
or net.folk-arts.
