Clearly I have a different slant, since I'm the one who posted the  offending 
item.
 
If this concerned an artist like Dar I would understand better,  since she 
has a fan base that paddles the behinds of both the Nields and  the Kennedys.
 
This actually concerns artists who are regular bandmates of the  Kennedys in 
the Strangelings.
 
A more egregious overstepping has undoubtedly occurred in the  shameless 
promotion of the Kennedys (among others) on the Nook.
 
On the Nook, a simple compromise was achieved -- the ascription of "NNC"  to 
posts of allegedly "Non-Nields Content."  Although I've never sworn an  oath 
of allegiance to that protocol myself.
 
The Nields Nook has historically been a more free-wheeling and off-topic  
list than the Jangle-Poets, though.
 
It only took one person on the Nook complaining about the yearly  absorption 
of the list in FRFF chatter to make a difference there, although  Falcon Ridge 
has never entirely disappeared from discussions on the Nields  list.



I've enjoyed my liberty, along with the liberties I've taken, but your  
annoyance is noted.
