Yeah, so??? Ever thought that many of us do not live in the US, and 
don't have access to a JoAnn's? That makes this file at least usable for 
those of us who can't go and buy the 44 inch fabric, and the file is 
freeJoAnn's is a US chain store that doesn't have any stores outside 
of the US, not even here in Canada. And all I did was point out that it 
was not 'paper' as someone mentioned, but that they could use it in 
other ways. And if they have it with their special Halloween fabric, it 
does not mean that any other stores have the same fabric.

Re: [lace] ADMIN: Survey Request - please send privately

2016-07-31 Thread Avital
Helen and others,

I doubt that the data could be used for nefarious purposes. I also
wouldn't describe Anna's response as "animosity". She says she was
annoyed with the individual responses and that's a legitimate comment.
I don't participate in surveys myself, so I had no interest in the
outcome, whether on-list or off-list.

My objection was to the three digests filled with survey answers. If a
handful of people responded on the list and if their responses were a
couple lines long, I would have no objections. What I was seeing,
however, was 25+ lines per response. Our digests are only 10K. It's
not a lot of fun to scroll through pages of previously seen material.

OTOH, maybe I should stop enforcing the "Trim posts" rule. What do
digest subscribers say? Please reply to me privately, if you have any
thoughts one way or the other.

Thanks,

Avital

Wow, and people wonder why the list is so quiet these days. Sadly the animosity 
remains. I have been on this list for a very long time and have seen many ups 
and downs. Each down causes long term impact to the list members. 

I'm bringing the, totally voluntary, survey to an early end. I will send any 
analysis privately to those people who kindly - either privately or to the list 
- replied. I will not be troubling the list any further. 

Now, what nefarious deeds can I possibly use the information I have gleaned 
for? Hmm, I'm curious about that now ...

Dear Everyone
Thank you Avital for bringing the issue of the survey onto the list. I 
personally am annoyed with all the individual responses.


I did not respond to the survey because I was not told why it was being 
carried out, 'curiosity' is not sufficient. The survey is not annonymous 
since you are responding with your email addresses. What happens to the 
results was not clearly articulated either. Before you all claim but it 
is amongst us and it could be fun. Think about the dark side.


Who are we We all claim to be lacemakers or have an interest in 
lacemaking, but could there be someone who wants to hack into our 
accounts or find out about us for their own purposes.


Loyalty cards collect all sorts of information for their customers and 
while we may get a 'bonus' something, they get a profile of our shopping 
and some times sell this information onto other parties.


Please be aware of your own privacy and your own security and be careful 
about what information you give out about yourself and to whom.


Anna from a cloudy but warm Sydney

Nathalie, is it possible that you are asking about Yelets lace?  There is a 
small amount of information online, including pictures.  It seems to be a 
Russian tape lace, similar to Vologda.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
