There are lots of real people here and not much spam.
That said, I really can't tell if you are trying to offer support to those suffering from eating disorders or just trying to make a buck off of their pain. I know that many anorexia sufferers will wear red bracelets in order to identify themselves to each other and to try and build a community together that encourages their illness.Sorry, but that's how I feel. -- -- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay: penguintrax Justbeadsenguintrax 0 /O\ There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

------------------------------------------------------------- I thought the bracelet idea was more for support of a cure. Monies being donated as part of supporting efforts for a cure and raising public awareness. Like the ribbons. |

yeah, really. I think the original poster started off on the wrong

She doesn't say anything about donating funds. I know for a fact that
anorexia nervosa sufferers/practioners wear red bracelets in order to identify themselves to one another. I know this because I have been asked to make these in the past. I refused, for whatever that's worth. -- -- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay: penguintrax Justbeadsenguintrax 0 /O\ There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

I wonder if they ever get confused with the red string worn around the
wrist that wards off the evil eye for Kabahlists. |

What group are you referring to? There is almost no SPAM in
rec.crafts.beads, but maybe there's a problem with your newsfeed and you're not seeing the rest of the posts? This is a very active group with a large posting base. * I M M O R T A L I T Y * wrote: Hi All, Im not sure if this group is active or not, looks like everyone spams here.. ?? Any real people ?

Looking at the auctions and reading the wording carefully, it would
appear that she is supporting the DISORDERS, not the TREATMENT. There is a huge eating-disorder culture in which the sufferers support each other in their disorder. I am guessing that she is either a sufferer who is deeply entrenched in this culture and is doing her part to perpetuate the illness, or she is a vulture out to profit from other people's pain. Either way, she is very sick. Barbara Forbes-Lyons wrote: She doesn't say anything about donating funds.
