[lace] Re: Lace magazine/ official email addresses
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.

Hi Jane, "I'm sure it would be lovely for the Guild to be able to afford time, money and expertise to set up official accounts for those working outside The Hollies" I hope not, that would just be another address and password I'd have to remember. This Luddite is happy with the way things are ;-) Clare - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Jeri, Clare is a member of the current Executive Committee of The Lace Guild. 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). I'm sure it would be lovely for the Guild to be able to afford time, money and expertise to set up official accounts for those working outside The Hollies, but the practicalities of ensuring there will always be someone with the knowledge to promptly change the forwarding addresses when the committee changes or someone resigns, or affording a professional to do that for them, make it one of those things that have been discussed and left at that (as you will be aware, I'm a former Hon Sec of The Lace Guild). Other matters take priority where charity finances are concerned. BTW, your email, amazingly, has come through direct on the reflected list - it seems some do, some don't - mostly I have to wait for the digest to see what you have written, Jeri!

If so, it would be nice if The Lace Guild provided an official e-mail address to you.
