I was a member of AOL for almost seven years, and watched it go through
several transformations. One of those transformations was shifting from mostly member-supplied content to entirely advertiser-supplied content. After all of the forums in which I was interested were either commercialized or eliminated altogether, I bailed out. It didn't help that my account was once bounced for the alleged commercial link in my message board sig line. It sounds as though WC is going through the same kind of transistion, and will wind up the way AOL has -- losing members at rapid clip. One rule about communications of any sort is: Know your audience. From what people have written here, it sounds like WC does not know its audience, or even care. Operating and maintaining a forum is, in fact, an expensive proposition. In order to maintain an income flow, it is in the company's best interest to not alienate the customers by violating their own privacy policy. Arondelle -- "Supermodels. Hah! Nothing 'super' about them - spoiled, stupid little stick figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. "Feh! I used to design for GODS!" Edna Mode: "The Incredibles" |

Kalera and Kandice,
I agree 100%. I no longer post there nearly as much as I did in the past. Too many rules, no consistency in their application. They will no longer get any $$ from me. Kandice: Don't be afraid to post on the ISGB board. Your beads are lovely! You know what you are doing and it shows! Moonraker: This IS rec.crafts.BEADS. Kalera had every right to post here complaint here. |

I so appreciate being able to read people's opioniors on this and other
forums. Whether I agree or disagree. The diversity of interests and beliefs are what makes the world an interesting place. What makes it a sad place is when people are attacked on a personal level. Denise R. |

Then Kalera needs to keep her whining over on the bead forums and not in rec.crafts.glass. WC is paying for web server space and providing a forum. You don't like the way they do things? TOUGH. It's their game, it's their rules. Get over it, or get gone. Nobody should ever have the expectation of privacy in posting "private" messages on a public forum. What dreamworld are you living in? And what world are you living in? This is Usenet, remember. People are free to post information, opinions and feelings. That includes you *and* Kalera. Being abrasive and nasty is not only unnecessary, its ignorant of the 'world' YOU are in. Take your own advice. Get over it. -- Polly -- don't spook my groove... icq 13968113 http://saxoncreek.com/ |

Kandice,
I'd love to see you post more on ISGB. I would especially welcome pics of your beads under show & tell, or anything you would like to tell us. I post all the time and I'm a newbie (and a fuser, no less) compared to the long time beadmakers. Why are you afraid? This is just my personal opinion, but I think the "feuds" on ISGB tend to be long time personality issues between people, it shouldn't affect other people posting. Patti www.pattiwhiteley.com |

wrote in message ups.com... My bad, this is rec.crafts.glass AND rec.crafts.BEADS. My statement still stands. Kimberly So Kandace is a cross poster, by your own admission? That is a bad everywhere, is it not? This is childish for a Usenet discussion, here it is free, post to your hearts content and if someone doesn't agree, they don't have to read it. But if you are posting on SOMEONE ELSE"S Property, i.e. web forum maintained by them and paid for by them, then "them " has all the rules, posted or not. You have the right to go there , or not. To drag that crap, likes or dislikes, to here, meaning rec. crafts. glass , is also a waste, but again, that is my viewpoint. Take your money to another forum, why would you advertise on someone else's site anyway, for what you spent you could probably have your own!! |

You'd think so but if I were nude and the weather wasn't pleasant or if
there were a lot of mirrors around I might not be so much fun. But then again - what the heck? I've been naked around others before and we all have cheeks...................... :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Polly S." wrote in message ...
