I've been down to visit dad for a couple of days. I have heard many
corny, blonde and other assorted silly jokes. My brother has set me
straight on life in general (isn't it handy to have family members
that know everything?) and I have been well fed but sleep was
in short supply. I hope others are catching up for my lack there.
I did get to see my favorite cousin too! A very fun visit overall.

Kelly, I wrote the original query. It was never intended to be mean
spirited -- its just we do tend not to have advertisers here or our
own posters selling wares even if they are quilt related.
None of us meant to be hostile in the slightest and we are happy to
have you here honestly. We'll recommend stores and products, or
websites for that matter, that we come across that have been good to
us, but that is different to stores and people talking up their
business....

Howdy!
These "RCTQ Faqs" are "common usage" patterns made up by members of this
group, some by people who haven't been around RCTQ in years,
some that are years out of date;
these "faqs" aren't "official" and they don't serve as law to anyone
who wants to post anything, altho' as a group we've agreed that these are
guidelines we generally follow. The off topic discussions are more a
violation of Usenet Newsgroup rules than someone posting the
addy to her blog or articles which may include ads. And since
when are articles about quilting a no-no on a quilting newsgroup?
Btw, Webshots & its ilk are full of ads, screaming, flashing, offensive;
how many are posting links to that, and/or to their personal sites which
contain ads or items for sale?

Amazing that Project Linus has donated more than 2.6 Million quilts.
