Projects for 2006

I remember seeing your posts "way back". Welcome home!! Sounds as if you will have your hands full with your two projects. Also congrats on the successful year, battling the bass. I guess it is too cold for them up there, so time to stay in the warm and stitch!

I just love Mystic Stitch's Christmas Wreath - it is just adorable. Their patterns are certainly *projects*, but they are also fantastic. I have Dewberry in my *to do* pile.

Standard netiquette is to post at the bottom, after trimming all irrelevant bits of the included text.

Best wishes, Ericka

Welcome back! How long is it you have been gone ?

Bottom posting is nicer lol

Sheena

That is a question, almost as contentious as floss-licking and the Mayo/Miracle Whip wars! LOL. Apparently it is correct netiquette to bottom-post, which I usually tend to do. Sometimes I top-post just for the sheer hell of it!!

I prefer top posting for 70% of things. Bottom posting tends to be verbose and harder to follow a thread IF you have been following that thread.

But, for riposte and such, bottom works better.

Usually I just follow the crowd!

I top post because as Cheryl says, it's easier to follow the conversation if you don't have to go through all the comments. This can be tiring if the subject is a popular one and there are 20 - 30 replies.

It's not a problem if the included text has been properly trimmed first.

Best wishes, Ericka

The only problem lies in "proper trimming". I may think too little was trimmed while others might think too much was trimmed. Top posting allows you to leave it all if you think it needful.

Cheryl

And on rare occasion, I'll do that. For instance, if I'm reposting something in its entirety for someone, or if there's some other reason that the post *can't* be trimmed and I have a general response to the whole thing. However, in environments where top-posting is the norm, I find that misunderstandings and communication difficulties are *far* more prevalent. Trimming and responding point-by-point seems to lead to better reading as well as better responses. There are days at work when I think I'll scream and go on a bloody rampage if I get one more email response with a couple of sentences top-posted over a detailed email message...and the response completely misses the point of the email (or where I can't tell what part of the original email the response is responding to)!

This is a "me too" post... I totally agree with Maureen for the same reasons... Some people just don't trim enough, and following some of the longer discussions is very time consuming and confusing.

take care, Linda

Have you tried dunking the end of the floss in an adult drink?? It makes stitching SO MUCH more fun!! gillian

Miss Kitty agrees with you, yummm. Since you like your floss licked and I don't, please pick her up at the airport.

P.S. She likes the idea of fresh fish for dinner, too.

Is Miss Kitty still in the dog house?

Cheryl

She wouldn't like you using the D-word, but yes. Still haven't found her collar and nametag, so she's still not allowed out on the front porch, which means she's got to sit inside and watch Miss Mia from next door act like *she* owns the porch, and there's nothing poor Kitty can do about it.

Looks like we're going to have to move furniture to find it. :(

Poor kitty. But I only feel bad for the owned human. Cheryl
