Artist *s* ? There is just one artists work listed. Did you mean to include others works as well? Perhaps it would have worked as well to direct us to this sellers auctions page? Diana

M, it is perfectly acceptable to advertise your work on this newsgroup, but please do so honestly, by placing "AD" in the subject line, and don't try to mislead people into thinking you're posting a list of favorites when you don't normally post here and all the listing you've given are from the same seller... it's transparent and makes you look foolish and a bit shady. (Nobody likes to be lied to.)

This is just a blatant ad for KAS. Next time, put "AD" in the subject line.

Exactly. We're not that stupid! Sheez.

If I ever post to this group again, I will put AD at the beginning. It wasn't an ad. Just posting my sister's beads because I think they are pretty. Sorry if I offended anyone. It won't happen again. My sister doesn't read newsgroups and has no idea that I made this post. Again, sorry.

Your sister's beads *are* pretty. I think it was sweet that you would post them for her. Next time, just remember that AD part, and go ahead and mention that it is your sister's work and we will be happy to go look. We like pretty beads. Do you also make beads? Diana

Huh? I'm not offended, I like looking at purty beads.

I hope your sister gives you some from time to time. :=)

No, I don't make beads. Kathy has all of the talent in the family. She is also a weaver, keeps bee hives and loves all arts and crafts. She is always dragging us off to fiber arts shows, the Milwaukee Bead and Button Show and the likes. Thanks for being so understanding. The last thing I wanted to do was use improper newsgroup etiquette.

There are FAQs for usenet, but each group has its own rules about ads and such. In this one beaders of all types are welcome and we all love to look at beads, we just like the word AD in the subject . See if you can get Karen hooked up to usenet, and then both of you come and hang out here. Welcome to the group. Diana, in WI too.

Yes, welcome!

It's perfectly OK... just be straightforward. Ads are actually encouraged here; we like to look at pretties! It's very sweet of you to advertise your sister's work.

You will get the best reception on Usenet if you read a bit to get a feel for the group, and then introduce yourself, just as if you were at a real-life social gathering. All the groups are a bit different, and all have different etiquette.

Then I wouldnt have gotten to see that someone else sees usenet as a social gathering with the same sorts of manners requested. Diana

Hey. You goofed, you were corrected, you are welcome here. If everyone who goofed had to go away, there'd be no one left here.

Welcome to RCB, M! Tell your sister to come, too. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

Yup....we get a lot of spam here that looks just like your previous post. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll pass it on to my sister Kathy. From the posts I've read so far, this seems like a fun group. Hard to find these days. Seems like every group has at least one troll looking for confrontation. I loved the recumbent bicycle group but it has been drawing some real nuts lately. Looking forward to reading the posts and checking out some super beads. Best regards!

some real nuts lately.<

Welcome! I've got one of those, 'cept mine's a recumbent exercise bike. Your sis has got some really nice bead sets - thanks for sharing!
