I am so sorry I missed your call this afternoon, but I did get to hear your phone message and I could sense your the excitement. in your voice. Your hard work has paid off big time, on behalf of all the artists on the folio and of all the Baren members, thank you for finding a home for the prints and for promoting the group, Thank You, THANK YOU! What a wonderful & proper place for that folio of prints to be archived - New York ! Julio Rodriguez (Skokie, Illinois) ps. We are hoping that perhaps the Spencer Museum in KS (site of the permanent Baren archives) will also be interested in holding a copy of the NYFD prints, currently only the formal quarterly Baren exchanges are archived. ------------------------------ From: Julio.Rodriguez#walgreens.com Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 01:52:51 -0500 Subject: [Baren 19191] Re: List Moderation 09/16/2002 01:56:35 AM As a source of general information to the group, the Barenforum server or list is not capable of monitoring or moderating specific posts or specific members. The forum can go into "moderation" mode but all posts would have to be screened resulting in unusual hardship for the list moderator and also delays in email transmissions. Rest assure that any posts to the list that could be construed as offensive to the general membership or to any one person...are always a cause of concern to us all. Whenever possible steps are taken to desensitize the situation within the limitations afforded by this media.. As a simple reminder, if anyone is having issues with certain members or the contents of their postings...use filters to bypass these "offensive" posts or better yet please use your delete key... it's only one click away! .PLEASE...leave the general list open for the subject of woodblock printmaking. Please follow the guidelines for discussion set forth on the main barenforum page at: http://www.barenforum.org/information.html Maria's post a few days back re the pros & cons of online discussion groups made several good points. It is worth a second and a third read. A personal suggestion; if you find this or any other online discussion group to be upsetting....a source of irritation...stressful....don't punish yourself....there is a quick and painless solution.... UNSUBSCRIBE ! I DID!!!! I unsubscribed from another printmaking list and I am now saving hundreds of dollars a month since I stopped my therapy sessions. Now I have more time & money for printmaking !
