Dear Elizabeth in Brazil, 1. Your letter did not go to Arachne as I see it on my copy of your letter. As I saw your memo on my computer screen (copy below this note), it only came to me.
My usual reply address choices with AOL are "Reply" which only goes to the sender (you) or "Reply All" which sends to you personally plus to AOL in the "Send To". In your letter (below this reply) from you to me, it just gave your mail address in "Send to", so I typed the Arachne address in the "Copy To" box for this reply. I added Brazil to the Subject line, so the Arachne archives will file it under your country's name. What this means for everyone is that addressing to the Arachne address will in most cases (my AOL does not deliver to all) go to the entire membership. I like to be sure a copy goes to the originator of correspondence, so make sure she is addressed. According to the original Arachne, that means the receiver (if it is you that wrote) will get 2 copies of the reply: one direct to you, and one from Arachne as a result of your membership. I do not know how your carrier, UOL, handles addressing, but that may impact your way of addressing mail. 2. Way behind the scenes, I was indirectly behind the founding of a national lace organization in Europe. Often, we do not know what plants the seed of the idea to organize lacemakers into a force that is bigger than one person can be. If you wish to do so, I will be happy to invite a few national guild experts in the international lace community to join together in a private advisory group to assist you in organizing a national lace guild in Brazil, because I hope such an effort on your part will eventually spread throughout the nations of South America. However, you must realize it will take so much of your time that you will not be able to make much lace! With this in mind, we should MOVE the SUBJECT to PRIVATE correspondence. It will be more efficient than on Arachne, and we can be sure that the few helping you are receiving the letters supporting you.

I think is a constructive idea. Brazil have no official lace organization but I will search who worked on Olympic presentation to send a thanks. I will give a notice after.
