   There is one on Yahoo groups called Fiddlecrazy.  I used to frequent it   
   myself, as I am a fiddler, but this group is a lot easier to bring up on my   
   computer.   
      
   I also don't like the format in Yahoo.  In this group, if someone starts a   
   topic, then all the replies are attached to that topic.  With Yahoo groups,   
   you sometimes cannot find the original post.  All posts are listed in the   
   order in which they are posted, not by topic like this group.  Since there   
   can be a dozen posts a day, most of what you see is replies.
