Hi Lyn and All! This is why I don't post anymore. The last few posts that I've sent very long ago, I got the comments my post was too long. And they weren't very nice at all. So I don't post nor will I participate in any of the exchanges. So I lurk, read and save everyone emails every day. Since I'm the only lacemaker in my area...well it's not surprising that lacemaking is a dying art.

There are some of us who write epistles, and those of us who write short messages. The short ones can be pithy, but the long ones have the opportunity to include more facts. I have written long messages, filled with what I thought was valuable information, taking a considerable amount of time to word properly and compose thoughts, and received not one response. No, I take it back, it received one response, to the effect that my post was too long. But in the course of conversations at events months after, people have mentioned what I wrote from that same email. So I know that even when there are no responses, my post has been read. There are always negative people around, who, when they tire of a particular thread don't just not read, they comment in a way to end the thread because they are tired of it. Well, that may be, but what that does is shut people up who may have something useful to say. Lurkers, especially, have more useful things to say than they think they do. Personally, I think it highly apt in a group such as this to remember the adage, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Ancillary to that is the idea that if you don't care for something, are tired of it, not interested in a topic, just don't read it. No one here is the sole arbiter of taste.

Comfortable temperature, sunny, no rain expected. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
