the group

I was a member years ago and thought the group had closed. Was so shocked the other day when I got a notification. Only looked at a few postings and was glad to see some familiar names. I used to sign Roz in Montreal, but now just sign as Roz. Take care.

Nice to see you, Roz.
No, we haven't 'closed', but are much, much less active than before. I
understand that there is a section of members on Facebook - I have no
connection with that, as I don't 'do' social networking sites.
However, a good core of us are still around in this system, and there
are always a few messages every day.

One day I'm going to go over to fb, scoop up all of our friends and gently
put them back here where they belong. This morning Hanne is thinking about a
baby quilt and is showing us the requested palette. NOT one I would choose
but it would be such fun to see all of us chiming in again. Polly

You can come find us on FB too!

Many days I get my rctq fix from FB...because I can access it more
easily. But I do like reading conversations better here since there are
fewer distractions.

Polly,

I wanted to post the question here, but I'm working off my phone at the
moment and posting the picture somewhere just didn't seem quick enough
for me...

No, not my palette either, which is why I have NOTHING that is usable in
my stash, sadly.

So why can't we post photos here? I understand that lots of us had
only dial-up back in the day, but is that still an issue? If we could
put our photos up, I bet lots of us would dump FB and return, because
this is lots easier to read.

I really wish you *would* do that, Polly! I don't like FB and find it
frustrating to try to navigate. The only reason I even have an account
is because my two DDs post photos of their children there -- which I
think is insane, anyway. :S

You have to go back to when newsgroups started. Newsgroups were set up
to be either text only (like our group) or binary which allowed
pictures. Lots of groups set up two versions, the text version for
conversations and a binary group where a picture could be posted for
readers to view. At the time, not all news servers even carried binary
groups.

The world was slower, storage was more expensive, we had no
clouds...things were different :-) We're all still here having fun with
the old technology but it's often easier for people to move to a newer
platform - like listservers, and then mail groups like yahoo and google,
and now facebook - to get what they want.
