Dear Jane Partridge, Thank you for this explanation. Nice to know, as The Lace Guild was not mentioned in the original correspondence, only the word Guild. There are other "Lace" publications that members of Guilds worldwide receive. Gmail is used by people in many nations; not exclusive to one country. Some on Arachne will agree (if you are careful as to with whom you are exchanging personal information) that it is best if an official position is given below a signature. In fact, the original old "guidelines" for new Arachne members asked for a signature and general location. As a matter of information, and not to tell anyone what to do: Eight official officers of the New England Lace Group (approximately 100 members) all have addresses formatted like the 2 that follow: _NELGPresident@(ISP_ (mailto:NELGPresident@(ISP) ) _NELGLibrarian@(ISP_ (mailto:NELGLibrarian@(ISP) ) These e-mail addresses never change. They are reassigned after elections or upon being appointed to a position. Any of 8 officers may write to one (or all) members, and we know precisely in what capacity they are communicating.

She is also a member of Arachne in her personal capacity - so her return address will be a personal one (I don't think I have ever seen a committee member of any of the organisations join Arachne in an official capacity, since it started in 1995, but I may be wrong).
