I cannot recall just when I joined, but it has been a very long time!
Probably 1990s. And like Nancy I did not trust online storage. Still don’t
in fact...that’s why I keep,so,many backups!

[lace] On Arachne since 1996

2019-04-28 Thread N.A. Neff
I think I must have joined in 1996 because I'd already been on the list
quite a while when we had our get-together in Nottingham. I was still a
relatively new lacemaker when I joined so you all were a godsend. I can
check how early, actually, because I even printed out some of the early
posts, not yet entirely comfortable with electronic-only storage! Wow,
things sure change in a quarter of a century.

Pleased Arachne is still going strong. It's such a valuable resource.

Hi all,

This lurker joined the list at the end of April 1995 and has been reading and 
learning since.

Back to lurking,

I think it was 1996 when I joined; not right at the beginning, but not much 
later. I vividly remember how awesome it was to be able to get lacemaking 
information directly from real people who actually knew what they were talking 
about. How long ago that was - 25 years in physical time, but a million years 
in Internet time.

Hello all,

I have been a lurker for many years now, but I joined in 1996 or 1997. I
didn't realize it was 25 years already. Wow.

Hi everyone
Changing the subject line from spam emails, better for searching the
archive!
Quoted below I have the others and part of Shirley T's message but not the
bit from Liz, also a '96-er (big grin)
I joined later that year, then there was discussion of a first year
commemorative bobbin,  didn't order one, but did the next year and a few
more after that. Those were heady days LOL.
