Goodbye!
After reading all this blahblahblah! Including some of my very own, I
might add, I have decided that google newsgroups isn't for me. You don't understand the newer generation such as myself, who think instant gratification isn't fast enough! You stick with rules from 10 years ago, made by people way older than me, I will move on to groups who are more into my groove, not stuck in the 90's, I want answers and sharing of imformation, not what you think is the way we should post. Why should anyone have to spend months in the background learning how to speak in a group? What is wrong with just speaking? I don't have the hangup with profanity and such as I feel most of you do, we use the F word, call things as we see them, you use other words to skirt the real issues, your control freaks, plain and simple. I raise Camels, soak naked in hot springs in front of perfect strangers, own my own ranch, ride my Harley, and least of all care what your comments about this last post are! If your ever out west and come across a goodlooking redhead riding a camel, wave your finger! Pam |

Usenet predates Google and can be accessed in a number of ways with various software. I happen to access usenet groups via AOL and if I want to read the archives, I can go to Google. Some people use newsgroup reader software, which I know next to nothing about. You don't understand the newer generation such as myself, who think instant gratification isn't fast enough! You stick with rules from 10 years ago, made by people way older than me, Gee, and here I was, not thinking of your age at all. I read 4 newsgroups, and started in November. I'd always avoided them cuz I was nervous about the flame wars I'd heard about and that people can get away with a heckuva lot more on usenet than on AOL's boards. AOL's TOS is far stricter. But I ventured on and have been discussing things with folks whose ages range from in their 20s to probably over 60. The groups are varied in topic, but rarely do folks of any age have a problem with the rules. If someone breaks the rules and is told, they either leave or they apologize and move on to more interesting things, like calling folks doodoo heads cuz they don't like the same comic book. I will move on to groups who are more into my groove, not stuck in the 90's, I want answers and sharing of imformation, not what you think is the way we should post. Good luck. If you find such a group in usenet, I'll be surprised. Stuck in the '90s, huh? Maybe you need to grow up a bit. The '90s were only 5 years ago. Why should anyone have to spend months in the background learning how to speak in a group? What is wrong with just speaking? Nothing. I took a week to read first, but it isn't required. However, if someone explains that what you said was inappropriate, how you respond says a lot about you to the folks there. Would you go to someone's house, someone you just met, and start criticizing their taste in furnishings? I don't have the hangup with profanity and such as I feel most of you do, we use the F word, call things as we see them, you use other words to skirt the real issues, your control freaks, plain and simple. Heck, so do I. Some groups don't allow it, but Usenet is pretty much anything goes. Except, of course, ads and spam. I raise Camels, soak naked in hot springs in front of perfect strangers, own my own ranch, ride my Harley, and least of all care what your comments about this last post are! Well, good for you. If your ever out west and come across a goodlooking redhead riding a camel, wave your finger! Any preference for which one? I've only been hanging around this group for a few months and haven't posted all that much, but I can honestly say I won't miss you. Shelly |

"patrick" wrote in message ... The sixties were good. But tell me, what is your favorite time to model / represent? Patrick Hi Patrick, I don't really have a favorite time but I don't particularly like Victorian. My dollhouses are not authentic in terms of time periods but I guess it's supposed to be the late 1800's. The house is Federal but I embellished on it because I thought it was too plain looking. Federal was plain looking. I won't mix modern in with my rooms but I don't agonize over whether or not a particular piece would fit into the late 1800's. I gave myself dollhouse license - I do what I want. I just don't invite historians over to see my houses. I am working on a store - actually the store is put together I just haven't figured out what it's going to be yet. I'm probably going to do an antique/junk shop to house all the broken or unsellable pieces I have. It looks like it will be set in the 1930's-1940's. I did something historically correct but it was purely accidental. I didn't want to put a kitchen in the main house because I wanted a large kitchen and didn't want to take up a lot of space in the house. I made a separate servant's quarters with a kitchen. Apparently in Federal times the kitchen wasn't in the main house due to fears of fire. You can see my houses at http://www.spminiatures.com/house/ Everyone's favorite house is the servant's quarters. I admire people who do authentic time periods because it requires a lot of research. Carol S P Miniatures http://www.spminiatures.com |

I have a federal and a British townhouse (3 stories, plus basement and attic). I like contemporary cuz I can really mix and match styles and time periods. I just say that the dolls who live there collect antiques or some such. I also have roomboxes--detective agency, and a couple of living rooms. And I have a dollhouse dollhouse shop. No online photos. Maybe someday I'll get a site done so I can show them off. If you have photos you can email to me and I can put them on my website. I have a number of projects from people on the site and people enjoy looking at what other's have done.

I just say that the dolls who live there collect antiques or some such. That's my approach, too. I have a victorian and a tudor from a kit, but my plans for the inside are to have them "updated" to current interior designs. Dawn |

The page with these pics is http://www.spminiatures.com/customerproj.htm Carol - What a nice thing to do! We could also use alt.binaries.pictures.crafts This newsgroup was created for craft pictures, and is just about completely unused. There have been a total of 8 messages posted over that last 10 days. Of those, one is a craft picture, two were posted there instead of on alt.binaries.crafts.pictures, and seven are obvious spam. The original newsgroup for craft pictures CAN still be used, but any miniatures postings would be inundated in the flood of embroidery-related messages (a total of over 7600 in the past 10 days). The only problems I would see a 1) The newsgroup was only created a couple of years ago; and because it's been lightly used, some (or many) news Servers might not carry it. People would have to ask their ISP or News Server to add it. 2) There's the very strong possibility of confusion between alt.binaries.pictures.crafts (the unused group I'm recommending) and alt.binaries.crafts.pictures (the embroidery group). The possibility is so strong that I mixed them up when I first typed the above three lines The advantage to using your site is that the pictures would be more or less permanent. The disadvantage to using your site is that the pictures would be more or less permanent. A major advantage to using a.b.p.c would be the ability to display and discuss problems, works in progress, and other material not really suitable for semi-permanent display. It could also be used for things like instruction sheets and similar non-text instructional materials. - Herb |

Or, better yet,
alt.binaries.crafts Even LESS used, and more likely to be on people's servers, I think. - Herb Herb wrote: Carol wrote: If you have photos you can email to me and I can put them on my website.
