I may be wrong (and I surely do apologize if I am), but I think the OP was posting SPAM. I think they were just more creative in the wording ...

In another group I lurk in, one poster posted SPAM in verse ... if it hadn't have been so entertainin' it would have been irritating! :)

Connie :)

That is what I was thinking Connie. Very clever.

Seen this too many times.

I don't go to websites posted by spammers.

As a matter fact most people make it a point not to do business with spammers at all. Perhaps that's why reputable companies don't post spam messages to news groups. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Well, you've got to hand it to them ... they sure are gettin' creative with their methods.

What's next? A regular posting SPAM for handbags from China?? Or how YOU TOO can make LOTS of money from home? LOL!!

Yeesh.

Spam, you think? I had not even noticed that the poster invited us to go to a site. I thought she was simply attempting to plan a wedding. There's quite a lot of scamming going on locally, apparently the local post offices and banks are getting heaps of checks from people who are cashing (and forwarding 10%) bogus checks. Polly

Well, the site she sent us to is written much with the same vernacular and style that the poster used ... so I am just assuming.

But then, I tend to be suspicious 'bout stuff like that. While I believe in real life that the average person is good, honest, and kind, I suspend that online (for the most part) ... unless it's ya'll. :)

You can't really be too careful with people -- and websites -- you don't know. You may have heard that a young woman in Minnesota was killed when she answered an ad in craigslist.com. Of course, craigslist is probably no more dangerous than classified print ads. But one must be alert.

Considering the very same post hit the fashion groups too, yeah, spam.

Dear Spam Poster, why don't *you* Check out this link instead....

OMG, I JUST heard about that (been workin' and not listenin' to the news for a while) ... simply unbelieveable. And he did it because he thought it would be "FUNNY??!!" Where the heck was this kid's parents??? I seem to remember that he was high school age? Wasn't he?? :(

But yep, you NEVER know who you're talkin' to ... or who's listenin'. Really sobering thought. My DD keeps buggin' me for a "MySpace" page ... and the above is one of the MANY reasons I keep sayin' "no." :(

i kept trying to figure out how RCTQ was one of the groups that was 'dedicated' to wedding planning. we might make wedding quilts but i dont see that as wedding 'planning'. red flag there, eh. cheers, jeanne I've been searching for a while for information on wedding

Yeah, Jeanne, right. That's just what we want you to think. Polly

"nzlstar*" i think most of you are safe, lol.

Hmm ...between Miz Polly and the gators, I'd worry more 'bout the gators! (BTW, that's a compliment, not an insult!)

'Specially if they wander too close to her stash! ;)

You are very safe with me, dear Jeanne. Trust me. Polly

but what about those gators? they skeer me to bits and then some. eeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!!!! jeanne

Aww ... gators aren't so bad ('specially lightly battered and fried).

Now, that's because I've been told for ages that they really won't chase you on land (too slow? too lazy?).They even tried to get a gator to chase'em on "Mythbuster" - and not a single one bothered itself to move an inch. It's in the water itself that you have to worry.

'Bout two years ago, we had a pesky gator that came ashore on the beach (believe it or not!) and he haunted a few tourist traps for 'bout a month, scarin' the bejeesus out of everyone, making the local papers, and just causing a horrible nuisance .... and then just "disappeared" (he was awfully tasty with a bit of Crystal's). ;)

I see Miz Polly as bein' smarter and cleverer than an ol' gator. If she decided that they were a problem, I'd see her as bein' more threat to them than they to her. I could see Miz Polly convincin' them that they ought to take a vacation to the Mojave desert if'n she put her mind to it! :)
