I joined this message board back in April 2009, when admittedly there were fewer of us here. Back then, it seemed nearly all the messages were quilting related. I've always tried to read each and every post daily in both the Main and Pictures sections. And tried to make appropriate comments, including assistance and encouragement.

Lately, I feel we've gotten away from this being a Quilter's Message Board. There seem to be too many posts with general sewing (Bow Tucks bags and clothing) and other hobbies (Antique sewing machine repair and needlepoint). I am finding it increasingly difficult to read all the posts now and am less inclined to do so, as I have no interest in these other activites. If I did, I would join a message board for those activities.

I sincerely feel, we need to get back to this message board's original purpose of quilting and eliminate many of the non-quilting related posts.
I enjoy the diversity..and with 250,000+ users, if it were JUST quilting it would be nothing but repeat info day after day...already is in most cases...there is only so much quilty talk you can share and still stay a "regular" member!

As it is if people would use the search field and read up on the topic they are asking about, they would find it is already and OLD topic with plenty of info already shared about it..like the DP9, split 9, out of the box, bow tuck, etc, etc...but to stay a regular you have to post NEW topics daily...thus we get repeats, and lots of them....

Sorry, but I don't have an answer as to how to read ALL of the messages each day..I know I don't have time for them all...
