Maybe we ought to start marking the On Topic posts!

This ng is just like my real quilting group. We talk about everything under the sun, and sewing and quilting when it comes up too. I love this group. I can be myself here, and if I ask a quilty question I get several very good answers. Thanks guys! Karen, Queen of Squishies |
You are not mistaken. This is the person that accused Kate of
self-promotion and selling her services via the NG. Sharon Harper wrote: Just a thought I had. Wasn't ruffian involved with the kerfuffle we had a while back over Our Kate's website? If not, I humbly apologise, otherwise.... |

You are certainly entitled to your opinion.
You may want to try other online quilt groups if you find this one to chatty for you, but my own experience has been that the others are even less on topic than this one. Most newsgroup reading programs allow you to filter out the OT posts. Maybe that would help? Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "buddy" wrote in message m...

Youre only an outsider as long as you choose to stay outside with your nose
pressed to the window. There is no clique here, just groups waiting to be joined. Its kind of like an AA meeting, take what you need and leave the rest. This isnt the only game in town ruffian. It may well be the best tho. Look around online. www.about.com has a forum for quilters. If you decide to stay here then perhaps you may want to learn how to filter out the OT posts using your newsgroup readers filter functions. Its wise advice since its very unlikely you will get the chatty ones of us to stop talking. :-) Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "ruffian" wrote in message ...

DM I don't think you are forced to tell anything ( or read anything) that you don't want to...... Flossy Malvern England ***** Queen of Plaids ****** http://photos.yahoo.com/flossy3353 I agree w/Buddy and disagree w/Flossy. This NGrp is like looking in a "junk drawer": You want to find something you hope is in there somewhere, but you have to wade through a lot of stuff to find it. It does no good to say "ignore everything there but what you're looking for" We are human, yet almost as curious as our cats. I'm new at quilting, get help here, and appreciate it. Some of the "old hands" who know their craft well and willingly share their experience also like to talk about a lot of other stuff with their friends. Some might respond that I'm paying the price of admission by being an "outsider". Like a child: be seen if necessary, but not heard. Your opinions don't count here. Power sometimes corrupts. I don't like it, but it's "their" NGrp by sheer number of posts. On balance, it's worth my time, since it's the only game in town. And thanks for sharing information on quilting. |
TY for the labor vibes....I'm just looking at "speedy vibes" more than
"comfort vibes". According to the doc that I saw last night, I've been in labor, early early labor, for about 2 days now. I'm uncomfortable. I can't sleep. I have little interest in food. I'm cranky as all get out. I'll let you know all the fun details after she is born and home, I promise.

My wonderful, wunnerful, cyber daughter! You put it into words much better
than I could. Sending you love and hugs for an easy (relatively) pain free birth. Thinking of you. Take care my sweetie! -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Qof DU) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html Member of the Houston 2004 Party Animals "Karlee in Kansas" wrote in message ... I'm going to crawl out of the woodwork to comment on this one. YES its long, but that is my normal MO. Either read or delete, its your choice, but remember, you asked. First off, a LOT of us have been reading this group for YEARS. You develop friendships, some of which may last a lifetime. You get so close to some people that you start to think of them as family. Most of us would start to go through withdrawals (and do if we are away from the computer for more than a week) without each other. Most of us worry when people don't post as often as they used to (I'm guilty of not posting as frequently, but I'm pregnant, due any day, and heaven forbid I should bore you with the details of my baby's upcoming birth, although I know a ton of people here that would love to read an update). We are friends and yes, like Momma Sharon said, family. We are joined by a common interest, quilting, but after a while, you find yourself discussing more of your life with people. It's how this ng has been since I started reading/posting over 5 years ago. Second, instead of sitting around trying to change something that has been done this way for nearly 10 years, either ask for help on filtering OT posts (more than a few will offer help, no matter what your reader is), skip the OT posts, or realize that this is more like a real life quilting bee than anyone could ever imagine. At real life quilting bee's and guilds, people keep up with each other. They offer support, happy dances, share grief, and offer prayers (or warm thoughts depending on religious preference). Here you will get cyber hugs, cyber tissues, prayers of support, cyber shoulders to cry on when you feel that no one else understands, and people will grieve with you in personal loss, jump for joy at the birth of a new baby, and you really don't want to hear what happens with this group when they find out you are getting married (its a long, personal story, brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I tell the story, and to people not on the NG that aren't familiar with what a HUG is, totally baffling that people that have never met one another will come together for the most treasured of all gifts.) Third, if you have a question and don't want to search for the answer on google, ask. I don't know of any quilter on this group that would rather send you on a hunt than answer it for you. We all started off somewhere, and we all remember where we started. I'm not the best quilter in the world, but I will offer what I can. Fourth, if you are going to post a snarky question like you did, you have the scent of a troll. Trolls are the ONE living thing on this planet I rarely feed. I hope they starve themselves and shrivel up into little raisins so I can cook them with a magnifying glass. BUT you hit a nerve with me. A BIG nerve. Maybe its hormones, maybe its me getting impatient with labor (according to my doctor last night, I've been in the early stages of labor for about 2 days and it feels like I'm not ever going to give birth), but either way, you opened your mouth, and I know I'm not the only one that is going to come running to the defense of the group, for the groups sake. There are other quilting forums out there (they have already been suggested), or you can go to MSN or Yahoo and start your own. Be forewarned though, quilters love to chat, and you will probably find yourself amassed in an ocean of OT posts wherever you go.
