It's really too bad

I've been tempted to write "Hey, Sporger, it takes one to know one", but so far have restrained. OOPS!! Frances

I agree Shelagh and will continue to read and post here Love & higs Christine

Hi, Shelagh--

What are you working on? I think I'll still be working on my NYCO Aran-style cardigan vest in September at the rate I'm going....

I'm still here, Shelagh, and intend to stay. These droll trolls aren't enough to chase ME away. Hugs, Noreen

Still here, and posting at my usual rate, which does tend to be infrequent these days, though I still call in daily

Hi Shelagh and everyone else, I'm still here and WILL stay. I share your dislike of the way Yahoo groups function. I can't find an efficient way to read just the new posts in threads (hey, I just made this on topic by writing threads) the way I can with newsgroups.

As for the malicious posts, I've been acually more bothered by the fact that people respond to them than the initial posts. If I was one of the victims, I might feel differently but I don't think I am as tempting to them because I don't disclose my full name and email address. The main reason I'm not bothered by them is that almost none of them have even been downloaded to my computer. I don't know why I don't get them but usually I find out about them because someone else has responded. For example, I got a response today made by someone in another group to one that appeared to have come from Christine. I did go to Google and used the "report abuse" button on the original message although that may be just a waste of time.

Hang in here everyone and have a good weekend.

Well, I am over on the other group, but I agree. I like this format MUCH better. I can sort by thread and choose which to ignore and which to read.

And I will keep looking over here. Up until now, we didn't really have any problem!

Dear Shelagh I am still here ,, [ i thought about it and decided to keep both groups, the people who left are friends as well./like those who decided to stay here] And i realized i should rethink it all over. Symbolicly the Yahoo thing didn`t let me in ,,,, which gave me more thinking time. I feel i lost an argument, for my belief in people`s reasonablity. and my belief and feelings that i like to share my knowledge with other people. I want to stay here, in an open forum, i want many/any knitters/crocheters have the ability to come in ask a question and feel that an international group can stay nice, and polite,,,, now i feel we Surrendered to the horrid people who tried to bully us. As i am one of the people whose name was dragged into te mud , i understand the urge of some to hide and take cover, But this isn`t the right way. Because now we gave All other bullies the idea that it would be fun and good to go on in thier Horrid destructive ways,,,, Ladies and friends i go out every day to the streets of my country, where terror acts can harm more than a name....No my dear Friends , tis is not the way to behave...I asked my server to treat it, others here did the same.... And i like all of you ,, those who felt they want/need to hide, and those who stayed here ,,, so i what am i to do ???? I don`t want to loose contact with those who left ,, But why do i have to hide ... And there is another side to consider , which really makes it important ESPECIALLY for me and the others who were smeared ,, and i ask you all to consider it seriously... Posts on ngs are quoted on other places on the net , i see many of the sunjects from here , quoted on google lists,,,,, Now please friends look what surfaces on the nest ,,,,, A neat group of people ,,,,,, suddenly some seem to write nasty posts and than they disappear .....conclusions ......not good to our names and reputattions .... but if we go on being our neat and nice selves ,,, more usual nice posts will out weigh the horrid ones ..... and repair the dammage. Anyone who dares to connect us with nasty posts , should be adviced to look atnthe headers which proove it wasn`t ours, says my son. I here by ask all the persons that left to reconsider my above words,,, If you decide to be out i will write double posts , since i don`t want to loose any person ,,,,, But as i said from the begining i am staying here ,,,,, And Shealgh no one here is a ghost brrrrrrr mirjam

And are you sporging , here and there for fun ???? or gain ???? mirjam

Dear Mirjam - thanks for your inspiring words. And I want to apologize again for my really profane language when I made the mistake of replying to the idiots who want to spoil our group. I promise to put a zipper on my mouth and think twice before I make posts.

I'm sure you'll be reading this with your morning coffee - so please give your cat a hug for me and enjoy your morning coffee!

I had to discontinue my NYCO - it was to be a shawl out of some fine mohair, but I made a big mistake on counting stitches, plus didn't like the way it was working up with that yarn. I've frogged a lot of it, and intend to try it again with a different yarn.

I'm finishing up 2 pairs of socks, working on a bulky sweater for my granddaughter and another shawl for myself.

Just keep plugging away on your vest and it will be done before you know it. (smile)

I'm not going anywhere. I don't participate much on any of the groups I monitor, but the last thing I need is another YahScrew group to try to keep track of.

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

Good to know Wooly..... "YahScrew" heheheheheh - never heard it called that before.....

Shelagh

As will I!! I have joined the other group but there are far too many emails for me to cope with. If the troublemakers are totally ignored then they will get nothing out of their nasty ways

O xx

Waving back. I'm still here too, now I've got one more place to "visit" every day. Good Sunday to all and be in peace. The storm will pass, you'll see :-) Sofia D (from Brussels with love :-)
