Is this list always quiet?
I just joined a day or two ago, and have only received two messages, one to
a post I made, and one spam. Is this list always this quiet, or am I having trouble with my newsgroup reader? I'm new to newsgroups, and am used to email groups, so any help is appreciated. Thanks Diana |

Diana,
It's generally pretty quiet. I think the highest volume I've ever seen is 30 posts in 24 hours, and more typically it's 2 - 8 per 24 hours. The best way to pick things up is to come up with a provocative stamping discussion topic and post it! However, google-search past messages and see what sorts of things have been done tons (especially "your top 10 supplies" once a year or so on that one is enough in my book) So... ask a question or post a discussion topic, and things'll perk up a bit. But, generally, it's pretty quiet. Especially with the weather warming a bit in many areas, lots of minds here turn to gardening (ick!) :-) Kind regards, Alison "Diana" wrote in message ...

Thanks Alison,
Are you allowed to post swap proposals here, or Comms or Ads? I'm not into gardening either lol....when they come up with plants that don't attract bees, and don't require tons of extra housework for myself, then I might consider it LOL. I don't even do the silk flowers in the house....just more to dust haha! Diana "Alison" wrote in message ... Diana, It's generally pretty quiet.

That's true, Artemis, I missed that she said she'd only received on response
to her original post! Sorry, Diana, in addition to the fact that the group is generally quiet, you have missed some posts. I don't know why that might be. A "Artemis" wrote in message ...

Oh no! Don't know how to fix that. Maybe I'll unsub, and then resub and
see if I get back the lost messages or something. Thanks! Diana "Artemis" wrote in message ...

Yes, all of those are acceptable as long as they're directly stamping related; advertisements should have "AD" or "COMM" in the subject line so that those who wish may skip over them. About the only thing that's outright verboten here (well, other than random spam) is posting images. You may, however, post links to pictures of your work if you put them in Webspace somewhere. Welcome. As Alison notes, this is a pretty quiet newsgroup, and some weeks it looks like nothing but a bunch of eBay ads, but we do have interesting conversations when somebody gives us a poke with an interesting question. -- Pat Kight |
