In January, I wrote inviting Arachne members who will be attending the Congress in BELGIUM to correspond with me. Â I have collected replies which will not be made public. Â Our travelers need protection from unauthorized people reading Arachne mail, and much of our mail seems to be going to G****e.
A letter from Australia was from someone who learned - from gumlace - that I was collecting names. Â She is not subscribed to Arachne. Â Please remember that if you share a computer in a library, the office, with your spouse and/or children, etc. that what we discuss about travel dates and plans is confidential. Â It is also not the business of local lace guild members, or something to be put in newsletters - until after the fact. Â Your security and that of your home is necessary at this time in human history. Â It is against the law to maintain member address lists in some countries, but not in others. Â I will be writing privately to all who responded to me - using the bcc (blind carbon copy) feature for my first letter. Â Those participating will decide whether they want their name to be known to others attending, or not. Â I'd like to think we can write openly, because my intent was to aid friendships - in advance of the event.
