But Elizabeth....if he discusses stitching it's the same three topics over and
over: Maidens; scientific explainations of computer generated chart
conversions; or whining about how designer won't provide stitch counts!

Are you sure you want to encourage that? VBG

Absolutely! Jim always titles those posts appropriately and I can skip
them if I choose. When he starts complaining about our behavior in the
middle of a thread, I end up reading it!

Elizabeth

And taking a shower, of course.

I have not seen one pleasant post from this person. NOT one. At least I admit
when I'm wrong and know full well I can get feisty at times. I also recall him
driving certain unnamed desigher(s) off this newsgroup with is "how much floss
is needed" agenda.

Then you certainly haven't been reading rctn for very long. Jim has been a poster
to rctn almost from the very beginning. His work is extraordinarily good (as
anyone who has seen his maidens in real life can tell you.) As retired chemist
and scientist, Jim's wish for precise stitch counts is perhaps understandable.

And as for being positive, who else but Jim has finished other people's projects
for them when they were unable to do so? (And at no charge).

You might want to look at "Jill's Quilt" which was created by members of rctn for
Jim in memory of his lovely wife, Jill. This might tell you how a number of the
rest of us feel about Jim.

I'll vote for that too. Only using cross stitch within the body of
other types of needlework, I have no interest in stitch counts, cross
stitch programmes etc. I recognize that thread and do not read it.
Simple.

With regard to maidens, why have we not seen posts with links to
patterns for lounging males ? Are there none of the Chippendales for
example? Surely some of you avid stitchers out there must have seen
these patterns if they exist and if not, I wonder why not ?

Sheena

Yes!

But surely there is a Adonis or Apollo out there somewhere!

Did he actually drive anyone off with that, Victoria? It just made me laugh
really - it was pretty harmless - just one of those anal things. I just
stopped reading it in the end. My programme does it anyway, I have never
been paranoid enough to test it`s accuracy. In any case I never know how
much thread has gone off shopping with me on my clothes, and blown away in
the wind - and I never really know how much the pup has made off with.
Sometimes I snip off a length when I`ve finished using a colour for a
particular area, and just throw it away. What the Hell does it matter?

Well there is Dimples Designs Merman (I can't remember the title). I'd
like to see a chart of Michaelangelo's David, myself.

Men are stimulate with visual aid, women, for the most part are stimulated
by
other means, for the most part. Aside from those statistics which are
available
everywhere you want to look, I have no desire to stitch a naked man. I
sleep
with one nightly and skinny dip in the pool with daily.

Me neither - all those dangly bits are so UNTIDY!!! lol!

There's also Gabriel of the Clouds (same designer) who is as nearly
naked as possible.

I tried to experiment with the male figure....but I had to stick it onto a
horse and make him a centaur! ROFL

He hasn't sold as well as I'd hoped, so live and learn!
