I quilt, even now, and in 1994 I joined QUILTNET through the Un. of Kentucky. I still belong. Its a privately owned LISTSERV and the owner is very strict about subject, space and we are limited to 50 posts for the QUILTNET per day. Well, as it turned out, most of us were librarians, I don't know how that happened, but it did. Some were working on their PHd's and when they finished them, they add so much to their signature files that the owner of the LISTSERV took us to task one morning and told us that some of our signature files look a lot like resumès. Indeed, one librarians signature page went on for a screen and a half! So, since I'd never had a signature file anyway, I created one and said, Marjorie L. Moorefield, just another librarian who quilts. That broke up the list owner, and he re-posted it and told the other librarians that this should be a lesson in humility!!! I just changed the signature file to "just another librarian with PD" for our list. My humility does still remain intact!! That is the story behind my signature file. Thanks Camilla! Marjorie 67/12
