Re: [lace] Anniversary

[Adele Shaak]

I’ve been on Arachne since 1996 - just about the beginning. I will always 
remember the excitement of reading the many, many pages of messages that came 
every day in my digest. So much information, and I wanted to print it all out! 
I had been making lace in a vacuum - none of my friends or relatives had a 
clue, so all that talk was an exotic, extraordinary experience. 

I do miss the old Arachne, but that level of excitement just couldn’t continue 
and it would be hard to take if it did. I understand the lure of Facebook, and 
it’s a great advantage that you can upload photos together with your message. 
I’ve been told Facebook is old, Twitter is getting past it, and Instagram is 
the best right now, but I don’t understand how Twitter and Instagram are better 
for our purposes than Facebook - or even good old Arachne. We need the ability 
to write long, involved messages.

[lace] Arachne Anniversary

[Helene Ulrich]

On this special anniversary I would like to thank everyone for the
help and guidance they have given so many over the years.

If it was not for Arachne I would probably not have started my lace
making journey in the mid1990's -- long before Facebook. It is
through internet searches about lace making that I stumbled across
Arachne and though this group I was able to locate a teacher within a
reasonable distance to where I lived.   Have made some wonderful
friends through this group -- some I have met in person and others
have only connected with through emails and/or Facebook.

Thank you to whoever conceived the idea, and a special "Thank You' to
Avital for moderating for us to make sure we don't get overheated
during disagreements.

[lace] How did Arachne start?

[DevonThein]

I was not among the first group to be part of Arachne. Instead I had been
hearing about it for a while from people like Penny Boston, who is no longer
on it, before I managed to become a part of it. How did it actually start and
what was it like in the early days?

I Think that's a good enough excuse for us to make lots of lace today.
