You could try Yahoo groups if you don't mind being bombarded with
advertising. The best bet is to just ignore the trolls. It should be
noted that a number of knowlegable individuals who used to post here such
as TM Back, Valerie D, Ed & Yuri, R Christen (these all designers and/or
makers of many fine instruments) and others who have since left this roup
were just as guilty of getting into flame wars as the obvious trolls such
as Sean Grant.
