I tend to agree with the idea that folk music discussion may not belong
in net.wobegon (though I was one who instigated it initially), however:

1. As previously noted, there has been hardly ANY traffic in the
	group for months, and in fact had been threatened with
	extinction a couple of times.

2. Previous discussion in net.music from people who wanted such things
	as net.music.classical were outvoted (or outshouted).

3. PHC does feature folk music, so this is CLOSE to the correct group

4. If there is enough traffic in this group about folk arts, then
	perhaps TPTB (The Powers That Be) will create net.folk-arts,
	without raising the ire of the net.musicoids.

I noticed that someone posted a note to net.news.group, announcing
whats been going on in the group.  I'm going to get my asbestos
underwear ready...
