Members, I have created another Ning discussion forum more suitable for folk musicians and fiddlers called Fiddle World. It was a knee-jerk creation after years of putting up with heavy moderation on other sites and disagreement with forum/site owners that disapprove of commercial links and luthier/bow makers discussing their crafts; something I think highly of as do many of my folk/fiddle/musician friends.
So please join me at the Fiddle World if you get a chance, and thank you
