Very good advice. I think I haven't been in the newsgroups much since they were a wild-n-wooly, "no laws here" kind of place. It's great that some are now moderated and policed -- I just missed that happening. Well, back then they were even more adamant about running spammer-types out of town. It's these days when every Joe Schmoe and his computer-illiterate brother can get on the internet that people don't think and the newsgroups are actually overrun with spam. The moderated newsgroups have always tended to be less active than the unmoderated ones.

Fabric collections for sale on Ebay (Kristi=A0M.) snip I just read one of those "simplify your life" books and felt like a lot of projects had piled up for which I no longer had any enthusiasm. I decided to pare down in order to be able to focus on (read "get access to") the ones I care about. --- Kristi, Try running your ads on these two sites: www.rummageads.com or: Quilting Trader's Network, simply email your ads, no fancy fonts or fancy formats, to: They will send reminders when it's time to re-post your ads. I'm culling out quilting books, needlework bks., a few older sewing books, some kimono and obi. and have had very good results posting them at QTN. Just started posting with rummageads, so can't give feedback yet. HTH. Cea |

just curious, what non commercial groups do you read that actually don't mind ads? I subscribe to alt. montainbike, alt.sewing, rec.backcountry, rcts, periodically lurk at a few of the scuba and travel groups, read a few others sports and outdoors ones on occasion, reference the Microsoft group on an as-needed basis, and I tell ya NONE of them like ads. Some get a little infested with ads once in a while, which really annoys people but I'm seriously curious as to what groups really don't mind..? an inquiring mind wants to know. penny s Hi Penny, Rec. craft. beads specifically... Must check out the scuba ones you mention and the mountain bike groups.. I just love the great outdoors.. Only recently discovered n/g's and am really enjoying the interaction.. Mavis |

Only recently discovered n/g's and am really enjoying the interaction.. Mavis There are all sorts of outdoors one.. camping, hiking, biking, skiing... keep in mind, if you are new to usenet, that the crafts newsgroups seems to a kinder gentler version of usenet. I love the outdoors groups, but they can be more intense with various personalitites, flaming and so on. penny |
