Hello All!
I would like to thank all of you who have been participating in the 
conversations here on crafting.  I would also like to extend a warm 
welcome to all of our newer members.  If you don't know, I am the moderator
of this echo.  I rule it with a very light hand usually.  In fact, I have
only had two occasions to get on to someone for anything on this echo.
I don't care if you have non-crafting chitchat as long as you manage
to pull it back onto topic somewhere in the message (that means that 
omewhere
in your message you have to say what you are working on or have worked on
that is crafty.).  I will give a very good example of this in just a bit.
Talk on get-togethers is ALWAYS ALLOWED and is considered on topic.  Talk
on sending crafty items from one person to another (just watch those 
copywrite laws please) is ALWAYS ALLOWED.  Nasty talk is not allowed.  It is 
also not
allowed to post flame messages (any message meant to make one or more people 
angry).  Exchanges are allowed as long as you clear them with me first.
Above all else, HAVE FUN!!
Your Moderator,  
           Pat
