Your explanation sounds pretty stock, like if you got it from Wikipedia, perhaps abridged it or got it from another site. You say you "know very well what delta blues is." Yet you fail to mention that Howlin' Wolf is Chicago Blues. I don't know if Frownland was testing you there and you failed. It's possible he believes if someone is born in Mississippi that automatically makes him a Delta Blues artist regardless what style of music he plays.

Now when I didn't know much about those other genres and gave the best answers I could give yet you totally dismissed those bands; didn't even count them. You hold double standards.
I'm not entirely sure why Nea has decided to beef with JGuy, but I am amused nonetheless.
