Re: Freebie and new Embroidery designs

Ok, I *am* trying to understand.

I see Ron helping people out. But could you please explain to me how
a link to a site with free embroidery designs is not helping people
out?

The reason I ask is, it was said that no advertising is accepted. So
advertising is accepted, as long as it's in your signature!?

In my opinion, Allan, you are deliberately misunderstanding and equally deliberately trying to cause dissension in a group which is normally very friendly and helpful. Let me try to explain it as clearly as possible. Because the charter says "no advertising", it is not ok for people who have never ever participated in this group to come barging in posting their advertising for free. There is a place for them on r.c.t.marketplace.

On the other hand, for people who participate regularly, and are helpful to all of us in answering questions or trying to solve problems, and who have a specific signature which they append to all of their e-mails, this is generally accepted as permissible.

Please stop pretending to misunderstand.

Note: Some sig lines are involuntary. For instance, I have been using a free news reader for quite some time, but it has suddenly started adding its own advertising on the end of my signature. I have not yet found a way to remove this, so it will have to stay until I can find a better newsreader, which is also going to have to wait until I have solved some other computer problems.
