This is almost to the day my 7th anniversary of finding this board. I am so
grateful for all I have gotten. I found things through here I never would have
even known existed to purchase which is a gift . It has been such a blessing
to have others to share needlework with. In a city in which you live, you are
lucky to find a few who are interested.It is unlikely that anyone close cares
about it at all. Our EGA here which I now have is a new blessing to my life
and this RCTN was the only place to share needlework interests before this year
when I finally lived near an EGA so could attend. I just wanted to thank you
all for your friendships and to have you all here to share my exciting times
with needlework and to hear yours.

Thank you for the lovely post, and I share all the same sentiments.
Let us try and remember that RCTN has turned into something rather special
on Usenet. Those of us who have, in the past, resorted to being involved in
flame wars, should try and resist the temptation to do so in the future, so
as the preserve what is the best in RCTN.
