I know what you're talking about. Personally, I don't consider anything too serious to joke about. But then, I get lots of infractions and temporary bans from PF. Permanent banning from PF is an ever present cloud hanging over my head.Jimmy Snyder said:Or dangerous situations.

He helped bring traditional American music to a wider audience and influenced countless musicians, including artists such as Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, and Ricky Skaggs.
