Hey Peter, are you still moderating?

Hey Peter, are you still moderating?
Yes. You'd not have seen that newbie message if I weren't still doing it.

Not sure just why I bother these days, since for all intents and purposes, the
group is dead, with discussion having moved to the Orchid forum. But if I stop
checking the group now and then, it will be truly dead, since messages would
then just never reach the group at all, dying in my email inbox. There is not,
unfortunately, some default fall back option for a group to become unmoderated
again without a bunch of fuss and bother.

I don't check the newsgroup every day, as I used to do. Now it's more like once
or twice a week, when I'm available to do so. Usually, there's nothing new to
post.

...and there is an easy way of directing newbies to Orchid? I'm not
sure all newbies are web-savvy enough to leave the newsgroups and find
Orchid...

Blessed be, for sure

Frankly I can't imagine anyone who can use Usenet not being able to
figure out email, but I've been fooled before!

You turned me on to Orchid (here in this froup) so it's your fault.

You could always post political rants. It's the season for it.

I'll spar with you. More fun than privately in email...

Kinda would fly in the face of the whole moderation thing, if the moderator
starts inviting and engaging in off topic discussions...

Besides. I'm tuckered out at the moment. Maybe in January.

Happy holidays, Doc. (everyone else too, if there IS anyone else here)

The same right back at you, Peter. I still keep RCJ on my subscribed
list, , troo, although I only go there if I see a new message.

Jim
Blessed be, for sure

I am here from time to time. I just am not seeing much in the way of useful

information.



Basically I am a bead stringer with an interest in polyclay use for necklace

pendants and earrings.

Still here. Not doing too much, but still here. Eventually the
spare-time gods will simile upon doing a bit more, I hope.
