'Where have all the tatters gone!?'
I've been wondering myself. I used to belong to a couple of tatters' mailing lists --e-tatters was one-- but I lost track of one, and the other outgrew the mailing list. It wasn't as bad as the big Knitlist, which had so many messages per day that I had to drop out because I didn't have time to delete them unread. (And I wonder where Knitlist went? Google turns up a few entities called "Knitlist", but none match -- one is only ten years old!)
But the tatting list was crowded enough that it had to move to a web forum, and I still don't know how to read a web forum. Not to mention that at the time nobody knew how to scale pictures, so posts didn't scroll, and when you clicked on "view image", all you could see was one ring or maybe a clover. So gradually I stopped dropping in, and eventually forgot where it was.
So the only tatters' group I still know of is TechTat <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/technicaltatting/>, a deliberately low-volume group that sometimes goes months without any of the members remembering that they belong. But there was a flurry of posts yesterday, about getting started in designing patterns.
