I'm one of the newbies and greatly enjoy this forum. But I agree that topics in the main and picture subforum should be restricted to quilting topics and pictures. As much as I enjoy looking at kittens or puppies, I guess this should belong into a different category. And I agree that there should be a category for tote bags, they seem to be on the increase. On the other hand, the one thing I enjoy most about this forum, is the fact, that it is not so strict regarding misplaced topics and posts. I don't like forums that are policed by the administrators.
