Re: [lace] Jeri's posts

I agree and feel that it must have been a misinterpretation of the original 
message.  Both Devon's and Jeri's emails always APPEAR in my junk box, I do NOT 
put them there myself and both of these very generous ladies always post/write 
highly informative and interesting articles which are  wonderful resource for 
us all.

I check my Junk box on a daily basis along with all other emails, so don't miss 
anything.  I recognise their names instantly and read their postings on a 
regular basis.  However, I do hit the Delete key when I receive other genuine 
JUNK mail!

The written word can so easily be misunderstood and cause upset and 
disappointment.  I did post recently that for some strange reason Jeri's emails 
(and Devon's) go into my Junk email and sincerely hope that it wasn't my email 
that has been misinterpreted, as nothing could be further from the truth!

Hello Jeri and all,

I have just started reading this messages about Jeri's postings and I must
say that I am a bit puzzled. I cannot find the initial query, but have
found the sentence "people do not read what I write on Arachne", supposedly
written by Jeri.

And the first thing that comes to my mind is that those people mean that
Jeri's emails continue going to their spam box (as mysteriously happens to
me), and that's why they don't read them. Don't you think it is all a
mistake of interpretation? I cannot believe anybody saying that Jeri's
emails are not interesting, because in fact they are between the most
interesting and useful ones in this group (please, don't get offended the
others).

Please re-read the initial message, Jeri, and perhaps you will see that
nobody meant something bad about your messages. And if they did... listen
to the rest of the group who really love to read your posts even if we do
not always say so. We have often spoken of the different reasons for being
quiet, haven't we? So cheer up and keep writing for your many admirers.

Happy lacemaking and happy summertime.

[lace] Jeri's posts

2014-08-15 Thread Alex Stillwell
Hi Arachnids

I was reading through thinking I should answer the comment about lacemakers
not reading Jeri’s posts when I saw Cathy Barley’s comment, I second it.
It’s happened again Cathy, we think along the same lines. I tend to be
selective in my reading, not being interested in looking at other websites,
but I always read your posts Jeri, there is always something I can learn from
them.

Happy lacemaking everyone

Alex

[lace] Jeri's posts

2014-08-15 Thread Kathleen Harris
I do receive Jeri's posts, and they are all useful and informative, and always 
seem to teach me something new. So please do not stop sending them, Jeri.

But not every message, which appears on my PC, appears on my iPad. I haven't 
yet worked out which one's don't come through because there seems to be no 
rhyme or reason to it. Can anyone tell me why this might happen? By the way, 
Jeri's come through on both.

[lace] Jeri's posts

2014-08-14 Thread Avital
Jeri,

I think I can speak for others when I say that your contributions are
valuable and well-written. Sometimes the value of your postings isn't
apparent until much later, when someone searches the archives.

The only problem that I can see is that sometimes it's very hard to
receive your posts because of your AOL address, but that's not
something the recipients can control. We had a recent discussion about
spam filters trashing AOL messages (I had to create a filter so that I
could receive your postings).

I hope that you will continue to post and share your considerable
store of knowledge with us! As for the AOL problem, at some point you
might want to consider setting up a Gmail account, while continuing to
use AOL as your ISP.

RE: [lace] Jeri's posts

2014-08-14 Thread malvaryj
This has been interesting because I didn't receive Jeri's post, nor Jacquie's.
I did go back to check because someone else (Sue?) replied to Jeri about
thread, and I thought -'that's weird, I don't remember seeing that' and now I
hadn't seen these messages either.  Interesting that both of these are aol
messages.  Perhaps when I think Jacquie hasn't replied to me, she has, but I
just haven't received the message

I LOVE reading what you write!  Please continue to contribute.  
 
Of course
not every post will pertain/be of interest to every person.   
 
There are so
few posts anyway.  I remember when this forum was THE place to go for
information.  Now I don't know how to connect with other tatters/lacemakers. 
I don't have the time to go to a site and then sift through the discussions
such as InTattersI wish I did have the time.  I also don't have the time
to sift through FB or other venues.  I liked the fact that articles would come
to me and I could quickly skim through them to find the ones of interest to
me.

Jeri, I

more interest to me than others, and with limited time for 
emails I have to
skim-read many posts - but I've learnt a lot from the

will not have been a waste of effort.

RE: [lace] Jeri's posts

2014-08-14 Thread Annette Meldrum
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!
Best regards
Annette in Wollongong, Australia
