Housework or Play? Just what is your question? Seems to have gotten lost
in the quagmire. I know how to play--get on your swimming togs--and come join us I know how to 'work' --get on your leather gloves and help deadhead roses--might even let you take a few blooms home with you Butterfly (might even have a fragrance contest--can you detect a scent from this one and what about that one : ) Kate Dicey wrote: "LN (remove NOSPAM)" wrote: Housework, silly.

You compounded the error with attempts to tell us we were wrong, and we are not. The charter forbids advertising IN ANY FORM, and offering thing for sale (that is, in exchange for money) is advertising. clipped gently Kate what charter? Like I said earlier I have may not have the same information on ng's as others. It would be nice that I am not totally losing my mind. ???? thanks juliasb It doesn't seem to be expressly forbidden in the charter (buried in he http://www.faqs.org/faqs/crafts/textiles/faq/part1/) but that is certainly implied by a lack of mention of advertisements in the list of what it's for. It might be argued by some, though, that offering quilty stuff for sale (or offering to buy) is in fact discussion of quilts or quilty matters and so is allowable. The rationale offered for the chartering of rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace, however, implies more strongly that non-.marketplace groups in r.c.t are not for advertisements. (http://users.rcn.com/kdyer.dnai/arch_vote2.html) Even if it didn't, I'd say the mere existence of r.c.t.m strongly implies that buy/sell/trade posts should not be made in the other groups in the hierarchy. The above links were found in this Google search: ('charter rec.crafts.textiles.quilting') http://www.google.com/search?q=chart...lting&so urce id=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 This information was not difficult to find, but not entirely intuitive for newcomers those who may not know they exist. Therefore I think some degree of forgiveness, and a little gentle guidance to r.c.t.m, is justified for first-time rule breakers. The Earthlink news server I get this group from has messages going back at least as far as 6/15/03, and the only posts about the FAQ I see are from today. Perhaps a link to the FAQ page should be posted regularly, maybe biweekly or so? JA - who finally read the other FAQ postings after composing most of this and knows it's a little redundant, but, dang it, is gonna' post this anyway! |

SMILE :-) Actually this very discussion once caused a very, very, very big flame war causing a number of members to leave the group. Some because they wanted to talk about everything but quilting Even More than what goes on and some because they didn't want anything off topic At All. Many mean and nasty things were said. Thank heavens nothing of that scale has since happened. marcella survivor who knows how to skip posts and delete :-) Having owned 4 different sewing email lists in the past , I have learned to privately email people when they "commit an offense" and them cut them some slack if it is their first time as the good lord knows we are all human and make mistakes....it should be the repeat offenders that are jumped on like bandits in the night.
