Hi all Has it really been 12 years since Liz started this list... I'm really glad she left it open, that lacemakers could benefit exchanging discussion on many topics of interest in a cooperative atmosphere. When it became necessary she designated one of us as board administrator, thank you Avital (who *volunteered*, as I recall, double thanks) ;) There is some behind-the-scenes work to this, yes. A note about the board software: it is 'Majordomo' a mailing list manager, based on e-mail, and a process that is old by today's web environment. Even so many user groups still rely on it.
The beauty of it, it still works. I noticed a lot of messages lately are replies-to some several times over, and the appended personal and list signatures are oft repeated. My free advice for today: It is a good idea when replying directly, to check that you aren't quoting heaps of unnecessary text ;) It can be easy to miss the real message in all the quotation. For those on lace-digest they receive 22K of accumulated messages, a nice read, but not much fun when it is just one or two messages with quoted quotes and list headers!
