Re: Posts which are off-topic.
I agree with you all, and I take a positive stand on both sides of the issue. I'm quite comfortable singing (and playing) the bawdy ballads of the lusty Scots of the age parallel to the European Renaissance, but I don't think I'd be likely to sing a lewd song. Is there a fine line, of course there is. The line between the suggestion and double entendre and the specific. The specific is more a creature of our modern day. As to topic, and I run into this on other music lists, it isn't so much the actual message as the flow from the thread. Wayne, quite rightly, has suggested that several of us on this list who are interested in making lutes join the lute-builder's list for our discussions of the fine points of turning tuning pegs. And we have done so. And by doing so have a better resource on that topic. But at the same time Herbert is right. Why limit the natural flow of thoughts that may come when playing a lute. The real problem with off topic threads on any dedicated list isn't the initial thread, or the intitial answer. It is the follow up additions. The simple answer to that is for the participants to take the thread off list as they get wound up in their puns and examples. I speak as a guilty man, it is our own self discipline that makes a list relevant, not rules from the adminstrator (although he has that right I'm sure he'd rather not have to take the time to police it.

I think being rigidly on-topic is bad. I think that art which is isolated from the real world is not viable. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Of course, but topics that are thoroughly isolated from lute on this list should not be viable. It's too bad they seem to be the most viable.

Herbert: Does that mean that we should delve into the subject of having sex with animals on the Lute Net, just to keep things from becoming to rigidly on-topic? Just asking.

Re: Posts which are off-topic.
Dear Friends, Actually, you could make any topic relate to lutes. All you have to do is write a lute song (even a lewd song) about it. There are some examples of carnival songs from the renaissance period on rather off-color topics. You can find them on various CDs. However, I for one won't be singing any lute songs about lewd topics regardless of when they were written. Speaking of lutes, is anyone aware of an intabulation of D. Scarlatti's Sonata in E, Longo listing No. 23?
