Jeri how can any of us presume to know what others do? I for one file your information for future reference after reading and have used it in talks at my local Lace Guild meetings and other groups. I too have posted on Arachne with no response from the masses but that doesn't mean that no one read my posting. We all wait for someone else to respond or read it too long after the event to think that a reply is polite. My email files are huge as I am always behind in my reading but file and keep anything of interest once read. Thus my folders on conservation, book reviews, history of lace and lace identification are huge! In all I have around 60 folders but can usually find anything that comes to mind. It is just the librarian in me I guess! And there are so many librarians on this list! Since Arachne started I have never just trusted the archive but have made my own. At times I have sent files of emails on a topic to friends when asked.
Thanks again for using your resource centre and your knowledge to educate lacemakers worldwide. Don't' stop. Many do read and appreciate!
