It's annoyed me considerably, also.  What's going to happen is that somebody's
going to say something like "John Fahey's the greatest folk guartist that's
ever lived" or "There's never been a better folk group than Pentangle", and
our nice friendly net.wobegon will go the way of net.religion.

Barring serious objection in the next week or so (or somebody else doing it
sooner) I will create net.music.folk.
