This must be help or what?
I'm going to have to go with "or what" here, Domagoj Nola. You
can get help here, but you need to be very,
very careful how you ask, and what words you use, and of whom. Think Soviet-bloc Party apparatchik and you'll do okay.
If you have access to newsgroups, you'll find that the
group:rec.crafts.knots is a little more useful in terms of "open discussion" regarding knots. There are egos to deal with there too, but they're more diluted by the rest of us. And yes, there's spam too, which you'll have to ignore or filter, like the rest of us ("grown-ups") do. And no sign-up.
You see, people, we're not "afraid" of posting our E-mail, we just don't want {whomever} deciding some day that s/he just
must have more money & the spammers are throwing buckets of it at him/her, so... You may not
now be feeding the spammers, but I (among others) don't care to have to change E-maill addresses because of what
you might be doing later!!
Besides, did it not occur to any tender egos here that maybe our new guy, Domagoj Nola, might either A: not even have an E-mail address to give (who uses library/public computers?) or B: live in a country where maintaining anonymity might actually be a
survival skill?? Hmmmm?

And since there seem to be few who'll read back, let me

Well it looks as if the link I put in the forum on KHWW worked for him Dan.

Exactly. I got tired of the spam dumpers commin to KHWW and posting their garbage. So in order to protect our younger viewers and members I made it so only members of KHWW can view and post messages. I sure hope others can understand this.
So you, Knot Head, interjected your own self-satisfied little spam message (
allegedly to "Dan", except there's no "Dan" in this conversation, is there? Since you're so knowledgeable about the subject, you know that's one hallmark of spam -- casually addressing an uninvolved 3rd party.) about your "KHWW", which is (by your own admission) only available to (signed up) members, which Domagoj Nola has
politely informed you he could not do, so in reply you launch into a diatribe about spammers, "exactly," and now Domagoj Nola and I
both think you meant
him, "exactly" (he admitted he's new at English, but I've been fluent at it for 45+ years), and his thread/ question is now wrecked thanks to you, and no, PABPRES, your comments didn't help this time. Domagoj Nola is the injured party here, as well as the rest of us who were enjoying an interesting thread about knotting until you came along, and if anyone can't see that, you're just not reading. I don't know what your native language is, Knot Head, but what you wrote in this thread looks, to a native English speaker, like recruitment spam, a "puff", and a major put-down. And I though Fairlead was a wet blanket!
It's a wonder y'all let
anybody[/i] post here in the first place! Or is it just having newbies with non-Western names pop up that gets you people so angry?? (
This is not the first time I've witnessed you people blow up on a newbie like this!!)
It's no wonder people don't want to join your silly social club!! Between Fairlead's "you're not a member" posts and the rest of the crew picking on odd turns of a foreign phrase, to the bushwhacking Knot Head just launched, it's a wonder any
knotting goes on here at all!!
This is the "International Guild" of
what, again??
In case no one has noticed, most of us come here to learn how to tie knots better, not to get mired down in you people's "issues". If that's too much to ask of the International Guild of freaking Knot Tyers, perhaps Mr. Budworth has wasted his complete time and complete effort on all of you.
Domagoj Nola, please accept my apologies, if none else
but mine be offered, for the appalling way you (among others) have been treated here. Please accept without reason that there
are some of us out here who do care to see your knotting skills increase, with
or without our help. And try
Google next time, as well as
group:rec.crafts.knots.
Now,
Squarerigger did it nicely, I'm doing it my way: The gauntlet is thrown down: Is the IGKT going to continue to be an inbred social club, or are you people going to step up & become the "Guild" the rest of us are all looking for? I'd suggest if you people can't do it, the rest of us should take up the banner ourselves. You can go be the "Insufferable Group of Kranky Twits" for all we care.
It's time to put petty rudeness behind us & get more knots tied better! All the other crafts & trades have their respective,
respectable "guilds"! If Knot Tying -- the oldest technology we humans (on
both sides of the Iron Curtain) have -- doesn't have a Guild, maybe we're just asking the wrong people to build it.
