OT Please sign your posts
By and large, this is a friendly and cordial place. In my NEVER
HUMBLE opinion, it would be a shade more friendly if all the posts were signed! Sometimes I come across a fragment of a post & I want to know WHO wrote a particular message and have to scroll around to find out. It would be so much easier if people just wrote their name! Yes, I do realize you have the senders listed. BUT, not every sender I.D. is the same as the person's name. (Example, frood is I.D. for Wendy, a charming quilter who ALWAYS signs her posts.) Not signing a post is like not signing a birthday card just because you put a return address on the envelope. That's what I think anyhow!! This is not a flame against any person. It is just a request to make the excellent messages even more enjoyable. Thanks Bunches!! Signed, Pat |

Pat, I agree with your message as well. I use Google to read the
postings when I can't get to my newsgroup reader through OE, and I don't have a siggy set up on google as I do in OE, so I may have left my name off a post or two. But the real reason for my reply is to share with you all that when I use Google, I also look at the 2 or 3 ads that appear on the right side of my screen. They are generally related in some way to the topic of the messages that appear on that screen. When I read your message, Pat, the ads that appear are for "Universal Fire Shield - fire retardant applications", "Flame Resistant Fabric" and "Tension Fabric Structures". The latter no doubt originating from your references to "shade and posts". Interesting how they cull a particular topic from one word in a message about quilting and signatures. You're very welcome bunches! Signed, AliceW |

Hey, that "universal fire shield" would come in handy in event of
a flame war!! But we don't do that here. Have a great day, Alice. PAT in VA/USA AliceW wrote: Pat, I agree with your message as well.

No, I'm sure those ads are in direct reference to me. ;-)

That's strange. I use Google to read the newsgroup and I don't have any
ads. I have ads on my Google e-mail but not when I read the newsgroup through Google Groups. LizA. Kent, WA |

Sorry - I 'clicked' a tad too quickly yesterday and then had to do a
follow on message to put my signature! I usually remember though - I hope - and my name really is Sally (well actually its Sarah but only the Doctor, Tax Man etc call me that, and I never know who they're talking about!. -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Thu, 13 Oct 2005 15:26:17 -0400, Pat in Virginia wrote: By and large, this is a friendly and cordial place.

That's strange. No ads down the right side? Are you using a PC or a MAC?

I'm on a Mac (only thing DH will allow) and I use Google to read the group. I love those little ads on the right hand side. They are always relevant to the topic of the post and they have on occassion helped me find sites with patterns and such. my two cents, Tina |

Maybe you have some ad-stopper software?

Some don't like to worry about being flamed - maybe that's why they don't
sign. Also some have a lot of fear about ID theft and don't want to sign. My internet moniker is copyright protected but if my name were mary i would have no such protection. And - finally - this is a NG and we aren't being graded on rules composition, are we? If so - better flunk me now. I don't worry about composition, sentence structure or even spelling. To me that's enjoyable. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message news:gxy3f.19469$sE3.19250@lakeread07...
