Children's Sleepwear This must mean the lynch party will show up on my doorstep momentarily, as I have been posting places and things sewing-related quite a bit lately, including the fact that I am getting rid of a bunch of sewing and quilting books. Maybe if I ply them with wine and good food and an endless supply of ribald sewing stories they will forget why they brought the rope... Cea it's all a tempest in a teacup, m'dear. --- (Peggy) It seems I can't even breathe in these newsgroups without someone adding their 2 cents about what I should and shouldn't be doing. I was told that it was UNACCEPTABLE to cross post!!! Not only that, but as a regular poster in these groups I thought it would be acceptable some time ago to post that I was listing an interesting series of sewing books for sale. I was told this was acceptable protocol in "alt" newsgroups. Not only did I receive a bunch of rude e-mails from people who didn't appreciate my posting, but I was also reported to BOTH eBay and Sympatico, by two different busybodies. Despite this, the person who started one of these newsgroups e-mailed me to say that my original posting WAS acceptable, especially since it was on topic. I would like to know how the people who continually post "See Christina Aguilera Naked" are still around without hassle and a regular poster who made ONE simple sewing book sale posting was harrassed from every direction. I think all of you Newsgroup Police need to get a life! |

I was told this was acceptable protocol in "alt" newsgroups. Outside of biz*, *forsale, and *marketplace newsgroups, ads are frowned on in general.

Despite this, the person who started one of these newsgroups e-mailed me to say that my original posting WAS acceptable, especially since it was on topic. I would like to know how the people who continually post "See Christina Aguilera Naked" are still around without hassle I think because most people realize that spammers don't read newsgroups, so replying to them in the group is a waste of time and energy. You can bet they get reported to their ISPs. and a regular poster who made ONE simple sewing book sale posting was harrassed from every direction. There was a newsgroup created just for sewing related ads, r.c.t.marketplace. If anyone cares about wanting more information on netiquette, they can visit http://www.geocities.com/nnqweb/ -- |

They run themselves. It's up to the individual to moderate via their own software, or the ISP that provides the news service may do some filtering for binaries going to non-binary groups and certain types of spam.

They have to disguise themselves and buy new accounts on a regular basis. I wouldn't be surprised if they get good at dodging bullets too. Just don't complain to them here, because you can be sure they do not read the groups they post to. |

Don't worry Cea, apparently the "lynch party" is meant for some and not
others. It seems that your multiple posts are acceptable while my one-time post brought anarchy among those who consider themselves the "high and mighty" of the newsgroup world. wrote in message ...

Back to Cea:
If I hassle you, will you please, pretty please, ply me with food, wine and ribald stories? We could even skip the food! Back to Peggy: Never mind what people say as long as you know in your heart you were doing 'right'. There will be far more people down the road who thank you than those who trash you. As for the flannel: If you make it to sell, you must use that horrid flame-retardant garbage - but if you make it on commission, you can use whatever the client asks for. Sewing stores sell regular flannel labelled "not for sleepwear" because it's the law. However, all the patterns on the fabric are for pj's! (And we Canadians wonder why the world can't understand us?!) Cynthia "Pogonip" wrote in message ... SewStorm wrote: unless it's from someone running the group, ignore them. They are generally not worth your time. LOL last I heard there was no one running unmoderated newsgroups!!! Ergo, ignore everyone! LOL Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati Now that you mention it, I use the filters in my Netscape newsreader to good effect. Every once in a while, I look in the filter log and am amazed to see a long list of posts from email addresses that I filter out. It really enhances my enjoyment of the newsgroups! -- Joanne @ stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us http://bernardschopen.tripod.com/ Life is about the journey, not about the destination. |
