Re: [lace-chat] Advertising?
I really have to jump in here... I agree completely with the ban against "advertising", but I think that it's important to be clear about what advertising IS! Advertising is announcing the availability of products for sale by the person who is selling the product and will be making a profit. It is NOT: - an endorsement of a new product by a person who has used it but does not stand to profit by someone else's sale of same... - a notice of a museum display whether made by the museum or an interested member... - an announcement of a lace day or similar event... Let's encourage our museums and historical societies to keep us notified through announcements on the list! Let's continue to advise each other of lace days and similar events! And let's simply delete, unread, (or better still - block -) offending vendors who post advertisements to the list. The offensive vendor has shown she is making an effort to play by our rules. For that we can be grateful. Clay - Original Message - From: "Jean Peach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I think we loose out a lot because of the Arachne police of the past, why do > I say this.

Re: Re: [lace-chat] Advertising?
If they bother you, let me know off-list. I've got a very big cat in my closet. ;-) On a more serious note, Jean, Vivienne and others, Liz laid down the rules of the list when things started heating up on lace chat a few months ago. I'm here to keep an eye on things on a day-to-day basis, but I keep my involvement to a minimum (most of my work is helping people with subscription problems). The main advantage of having a list moderator is that there is no need for self-appointed list police to interpret list policies as they see fit. If you ever feel that another list member is trying to intimidate you on or off the list, drop me a line. I hope that list members will feel free to post about trips to museums and lace sites. If that's not on-topic, I don't know what is.

Thanks for your reply. That must have happened while I was unsubscribed - do you remember that time when the list got overheated and unpleasant? It's interesting that there has been so little mail on that list. > ... "advertising" is not such a problem on Arachne as some people think ... I think you're right. There isn't really a lot of it, and although it seems to raise some hackles and go against the list rules I see it as a minor problem myself.

[lace-chat] Advertising?
I think we loose out a lot because of the Arachne police of the past, why do I say this. Well this last week I went to Salisbury Museum having first taken my grandson to the Army museum. I was in conversation with one of the curators who told me that just the week previously they had given a talk "Lace on Costume". Yes the costumes were on display for everyone to see. Sadly few people turned up for this talk, so will they have another? Who knows, perhaps if this had been advertised more widely there might have been more people attend. I also realise that the museum has a limited budget. I did enjoy the lace display at the museum, for me the outstanding piece was the "Stumpwork Mirror". Plus in the beginning, we would be told about many lace making trips that lacemakers have taken, telling us what they have seen, what they liked etc. This is seldom done, I myself have taken many trips but would not post to Arachne what I had seen and done.

Re: [lace-chat] advertising, "advertising", advertising?
Margery, you might remember that, when we had the "advertising" discussion earlier in the year, Lori the Lacefairy offered to run an Arachne Newsletter mailing list. This monthly Newsletter was to be news from anyone with something to sell to other members of Arachne, and we were given the option of subscribing to it. The fact that I've never received anything from the Newsletter suggests to me that "advertising" is not such a problem on Arachne as some people think ... we are not being inundated with advertisements on the regular list, and presumably, there have not been enough submissions to Lori for her to post even a single Newsletter, let alone a monthly one.
