At the time this surprised me, because I can see that having a repository for pictures has advantages. However I think I've worked out why. Arachne has always been a text email list. Amongst those who are interested in lace messages, the ones who positively like text tend to stay on arachne a lot longer than those who would prefer web based messages. There must be lacemakers who would prefer html email, pictures and web based mail, but I bet few of them stay.
Bev, to get what you want you need to find these people and get enough interest to make a web based message board viable as well as arachne. Most of the arachne membership would stay because they prefer text, some would join a web based group as well but I don't think all that many would leave the email list. -- The test of a vocation is the love of the drudgery it involves.
