Would you please change the subject of the-now-evolved thread? I have been
avoiding the particular subject of "that" thread, but really want to hear
more about the mail order bride!

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 : )

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!

NAME: rec.crafts.textiles.quilting
REPLACES: rec.crafts.quilting
CHARTER: [unchanged] This newsgroup is for discussing anything related

to quilting. That includes piecing, applique, and tyeing and quilting

by hand or machine. Discussions may cover techniques,
supplies,equipment, drafting of patterns, templates, dyeing materials,
artistic approaches, exhibitions, shows, books and other
references, mail order resources, dating quilts and
appraising
quilts.
Discussions may include quilts and quilting both past
(historical quilting) and present, ethnic quilting, quilts to be used
in
a home, quilted clothing to be worn, as well as quilts created
for display and any other piecing or quilting applications









So I guess all of the off topic (such as diet talks and the like ) are
also forbidden by the charter ?vbg just wondering and playing alittle
devils advocate ( hoping to help put things in perspective
too).............

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.
So she committed a faux pau, now she knows better....life moves on and
so should we .....

just my personal 2 cents worth....

hospital. I'll see if I can find her. It's getting so I can't remember
whether there is carpet under the thread here, or if that IS the carpet!

You think thats bad - we hoovered this morning in anticipation of the
man coming to set our PC up onto broadband, and found we needed to
empty the bag... at the bottom of the 3 tons of white cat hair we
found lavender clippings which we'd used in desperation to cover up
the smell of spilled milk 18 months ago, and have been in the
hoover-bag since...

....and then we discovered our lounge carpet is in fact several shades
of brown and not white...

Just send em on to me!

I'll turn the Russian brides into lesbian slaves and then I know just
where to sell them off at. Get a good price too!

And here I had been wondering how to scratch up a little extra cash
for fabric and sewing oddments.




Do I get a commission?

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.
