[lace] Lace affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma?

2017-09-16 Thread M Geraldine Ames
Some of us would like to know whether individual lace makers and members of
local lace guilds have lost all their lace treasures due to Hurricanes Harvey
and Irma.  The geographic area affected includes islands in the Caribbean, as
well as Texas, Florida, and neighboring states.  Do individuals and guilds
need help getting back to lace-related activities?  Were your museum lace
collections damaged? 
 
Is this something Arachne members would like to support?
 
If you wish for your reply to be private, please send directly to me.

[lace] New "improved" AOL gold version reaching everyone?

2017-09-16 Thread M Geraldine Ames
I am testing a new AOL protocol that was forced on me by AOL 2 days ago.  I
was typing a personal thank you to Liz in Australia about her concern for lace
makers in flooded Florida.  AOL cut in and shut me down (losing all that had
been written). 
 
 
AOL has gone to a new "improved" gold version.  A memo to Arachne yesterday
about using lace samples for lacy boudoir pillows (Normandy Lace) got
rejected.  Will try to send that one again.  
 
Devon and Sue B. - please let me know if you receive 2 copies of this letter
in your gmail, one from Arachne's subscriber list, plus the bcc to you.  A -
blind carbon copy - will eliminate everyone else getting something extra on
the cc - carbon copy - line, and they should not see the bcc's either.
 Thanks.

Re: [lace] Subject line: color code = ghost pillow

Re - Managing Subject Lines on Arachne in a responsible way
 
Good luck.  I have often asked that Subject Lines get more attention, and
have seen little improvement.  For example, my dismay is with those messages
that are "Sad News" that do not get filed under a deceased lace person's name
in the archives.  Often, I add something to the Subject Line or remove
something vague and replace with something more easy for the Arachne computer
program to file - and then give a reply - so the discussion will get where it
should.

 Please stay on topic with the subject line or change it.
I see tons of posts with topic "color code" while the content is about ghost
pillows. Very confusing when skimming posts based on the subject line.

Sorry for inconvenience.  I am on with an AOL technician, and trying to
correct some new problems.  Jeri
