I signed onto Arachne in June '96, so I was among the 2nd wave. I thought about Archduchess/duke as a title but that is too royal. I looked in the dictionary found the word archangel which isn't sexist either. It is also close to the word arachne. Made me think of all those spiders who get sent to heaven just because people are frightened of them don't appreciate their vital role in nature.

Which name is derived directly from Arachne - the mortal who challenged the goddess Athena to a weaving competition and who's the patroness of both weavers and lacemakers (hence the name of our list). And I've been a member of our Arachne-list for quite a while; the long-standing commitment may even have given me some dignity :) Obnoxiously yours (if we're to count in lacemaking years, I'm 16.5.
