I see they have posted a notice at the top of the Crochet/kintting, sewing and quilting forums

I'm not quite sure why this is being brought up again.

Maybe we should stop worrying about what everybody else is doing ~ or NOT doing!

It's being brought up because GardenWeb/iVillage can be held responsible for any illegal activity (including copyright violation) that goes on via their site. The notice is to protect them from potential lawsuits.

Noticing small split at tip on new leaf..

I just responded to your other post. Don't worry about watering in South Florida. It is hot, light is very high and your plants are growing. Water, water, water. Just a quick comment. People get root rot when the plants are overwatered. What that usually means is their plants are not getting enough light to trigger growth. Their mix is poor and holds too much moisture. Usually they have poor air movement. I have found that even with a poor mix, if the light is high and plants are growing, they will just send their roots outside the pot and still do well. You have none of those conditions. Don't worry about the split leaf. You'll learn to look less often. The cure for that is to buy more orchids! Have fun, Jane

Too bad we don't still have a chat room...I checked it out a couple days ago thinking I would post to see if anyone wanted to gather there...but it's not there anymore. If we still had it we could have all gathered there that wanted to. I miss the chats we used to have. They were fun and it seemed like we got to know each other better. Maybe I'll look into finding another free place.

New travertine installed next to older travertine -- how noticeable?
Q
Comments (4)
unless you or prev owner used extremely harsh chemicals, or the traffic was that of a herd of elephants constantly walking on it, I don't think the new and old travertine would look bad together. However, the old grout will probably be the telltale sign. You'd be amazed at how new steam cleaned grout looks when done and how much better old trav, will look next to new. Not expensive, either. Besides, with furniture, area rugs, etc. it won't be so noticeable IMO. If old tile was older than 10 YO, and again, chemicals and traffic patterns considered, I might make all new, but 6 years? nope.

Maybe I have a wacky sense of humor, but--Minnie, I have to chuckle about this whole event. I mean really--the knitting and crocheting forum is a pretty sedate, conservative forum, right? A bunch of ladies doing yarn work. To have it erupt into a real HOT TOPIC has really tickled me. I love it!

Socks - would you be as "tickled" if YOU were the creator/copyright holder of a pattern that was being passed around?

Yes, this site is about sharing knowledge.

For every person who posts here is another person who simply browses this site. Or two, or fifty.

Some people might not know about copyright, or the extent this law covers.

For those, who in all innocence violate this law (which is an international law, by the way), this notice and the discussion here might be an eye-opener.

That, to me, is sharing knowledge. About as important (or even more) as how to make a certain stitch.

Now that the notice is posted and we are all aware of it I think it would be nice to get back to posting without fear of someone turning you in to the authorities (whoever they might be) for asking an innocent question or making an innocent request. It used to be fun. IMHO
