Thank you for looking and for your comments. We just have to work together
to keep it going...not a hard thing to do for a place that has given all of
us so much.

Amen to that, Adriana!!
I couldn't have said it better!
Amongst all stationery groups on the internet, our OE6 group is the only
truly open group on the
boards. Without restrictions, without a moderator.
And, as important, a direct communication port to the manufacturor of our
most important tool and
platform, Microsoft!
I know for a fact (the statistics on my website tell me so) we have hundreds
and hundreds of new
lurkers out there from all over the world.
Most of them will find courage to step in when they feel they have ample
ability to post.
It is up to us to take them by the hand and teach them the tricks of the
trade, just like we did
when you wanted to enter.
This group will always survive, simply because there always will be
wonderful people like you
around.
Helen

Almost a year ago; we saw the end of OE5.5.
We also saw waves of virus attacks on the servers.
Yet, we prevailed and continued posting. We stayed together and helped each
other out as best we
could. July, August and September 2003 were the worst months for our
servers.
And yet, we still prevailed and continued posting.
Our sister group on dogagent came into being to help us ride out the posting
restrictions imposed on
us on Sept. 26, 2003.
At that time; we were told it would be temporary. Then not long afterwards,
we were told that we
could be moved to a private server on MS. And we, those who are left; are
still here under the same
restrictions.
Well, it's almost the middle of April. Almost a year has gone by since the
problems first started
occurring with the arrival of the swen virus that hit in May of 2003.
And nothing has changed. Not for the better.
Not long ago...we had a rally to save stationery. That was an extremely
important Wet. There were
hundreds of posts from all over the world. If we could rally to save
stationery...why aren't we
rallying to save this group?
Where are we? How many are left now? Only a handful...
And...how many will petition for answers to all the problems that we have
been going through?
Our sister group on dogagent didn't divide us. That was a fear that many of
us had. Instead, we
allowed MS to divide us.
Are we going to stand together and fight for this group? Or will we be gone
the way OE5.5 is?
I don't know about you but I'm fighting till the end. This has been "home"
to me. This is the place
where I fell in love with stationery. This is where I met some of the most
incredible people in the
world. This is where all of you watched me try to post my first
post...sixteen hours of trying
before I got that thing to land and look presentable...Uncle Gus, Don,
Neville, Fitzie, Robbie and a
dozen more of you helped me that night.
I didn't know a darn thing back then...not even what a complete file path
was. Yet you were all
there to help me.
Ralph and PaulG taught me to do ripples. Uncle Gus taught me to make
applets. All of you inspired me
to learn how to script. Well, folks...I'll be graduating in May. Will this
"home" still be here for
me to share and give back at least as much as I received?
Please wake-up. Please help save this group. This may be the last chance we
have to do that.
