NEW Machine Embroidery Group seeking Digitizers & Testers, StitcherTesters.

SUBJ: NEW Group where Digitizer's can find Testers who are available to
test their designs and visa versa.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StitcherTesters/

Hi! We have a new group called StitcherTesters for those who wish to
Test Designer's (Digitizer's) Designs and for Designers who wish to
have their designs tested. The Tester gets to keep the design for their
personal use in exchange for doing the Designer the service of test
sewing the Digitizer's design(s), commenting about how it stitched out
and by taking a picture of the result for the Designer to use.

We are seeking both Designers and Testers at StitcherTesters. The
Designer gets the benefit of having their designs tested and the Tester
gets the benefit of keeping the design that they tested for their
personal use.

If anyone is interested in being a Tester or having your designs
tested, please join us at StitcherTesters.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StitcherTesters/.

Thanks!

No, but I bet we can kick the digitizer's can off the NG. (For the
benefit of those who don't speak NooYawkese, can=butt, bum, rump,
posterior.....)

Brenda,

It looks like when I ventured here among you folks that I stepped into
muck!!
And I will be happy to get myself out of the muck here!!!

No, a Digitzer's Can May Not be recycled! I won't GO INTO the Garbage!!
Maybe you should Get out of the Garbage Can yourself!! HAA HAA

You are very funny! hee hee hee
Are you always this charming???
What is a Distributed Proofreader????
It couldn't be a Garbage Can??? Could it???

Proofreader's are NEVER recycled!
They go right into the CAN where they belong!!!

Brenda, I don't feel that Mathilde's post merited the response you gave it.
She wasn't selling anything so it wasn't an advertisement. She was telling
us about a Yahoo group that mutually exchanged services. Trading is not
frowned upon on this group.

If a traditional cross stitch designer made a similar post concerning a
group looking for model stitchers I don't think it would have been jumped
on....at least I hope not. Just because software is used I don't think it
deserved scorn!

I know there are model stitchers here who have made their connections with
designers through this group. It seems to have become the trend lately to
jump on any post that seems to slightly cross whatever line someone
perceives to be acceptable posting netiquette.

Our past is littered with first time posters, who may have continues to make
a contribution to the group, but were chased away by a rude reception. If
it's necessary to advise people of their rights then surely there is a more
polite way of doing it. Who knows...maybe we might learn something from one
of these transgressors!

You are entitled to your opinion. If I wish to point out (in a humorous
fashion) a poster's inability to use correct punctuation, that is my
right. Since the reply attempted to be equally witty, I'm not
concerned. I say "attempted" because obviously our (both parties
involved) wit failed to be completely grasped by some. Her reply was
rather a cute comeback.

In my statement I made no accusations about the nature of the post
purely because of the "swap" concept involved. While I can see problems
with this method of trading, they are not my concern.

I felt you reply, poking fun at the poster's mistake in punctuation, was
more of an attempt to belittle her post rather than put a smile on her
face!...or maybe it was for our entertainment?

As pointed out in another thread, printed humor doesn't always translate
well. If I misinterpreted your intent then I apologize.

Even if the post wasn't making something available for sale, it was
promoting something, thereby a business post. I'm a firm believer in
using proper communications for business. I could have simply made a
list of all the errors and shipped it off to the poster. That comes
across as being very pedantic and possibly more off-putting (even when
communicated privately) than using humor to point out the need to check
over one's business communications. Since the grocers' apostrophe is a
bit of a running gag on here, it seemed a good fit. Of course it became
even more of a gag when Karen pointed out the colloquial meaning of can.
;-)

I highly approve of people who can laugh at their own honest mistakes
and then ask for help to avoid repeating them. So yes, in that sense I
was testing her mettle. No true nastiness was involved nor was it intended.

?????????.....did I miss the election for the post of Grammar Police?....or
is it a self appointed position? ;-) You need to lighten up Brenda....these
are posts to a newsgroup not a resume!

I highly approve of people who can laugh at their own honest mistakes and
then ask for help to avoid repeating them.

Phew...I'll definitely sleep better tonight knowing that!

OK...so I'm being sarcastic...but I would like to make the point, IMHO,
the majority of people here consider the content of a message to be more
important than it's punctuation. I just threw that in to see if you were
doing your job! ;-)

So yes, in that sense I was testing her mettle. No true nastiness was
involved nor was it intended.
