Come on guys, get your prints in for exchange 36. I had to have mine ready
to send back to the states with a friend. Most of you can just walk into
your local post office and mail them out. Mine were on time and I had to
rely on a friend, so get busy! Do you realize how much more difficult it is
to get prints to the states from places like Mexico and Brazil as well as
Europe and Japan (and how about Australia??)and how much more money these
folks spend just to get the prints to a coordinator. You have it so easy in
the states, the lower 48 especially. Even in my rural location, in the
states, it takes an extra day because they have to go to the city and be
processed out from there! Carole is doing her best and it is sad to see so
many slackers. We are so fortunate to have this group and to be able to just
join in with no monies to exchange prints and all this wonderful art work,
just for participating. Appreciate the great opportunity here and do the
work so we can all have a full set of prints!

You folks do not realize our wonderful postal system and how lucky we are
because you are spoiled.

Is barenforum.com something new? I accidently typed com instead of
org and got it. Make sure your pop-up filter is on if you go there.

Looks like the usual name-squatting exercise to me. It grabs its 'categories'
from searches related to the real site, and tries to generate a little revenue
via people clicking through to sites and buying stuff...

It's nothing to do with us ... it started around a year or so ago. We
should have registered the domain name ourselves I guess, to stop this
sort of crap from happening.

This kind of site is 'built' completely by robot software. They are
sitting on the domain name, seeing if they can earn more in advertising
revenue than the domain hosting costs them. The more that people visit
these type of pages, the more the owners are assured that the domain is
worth something!

I suppose that if we really wanted to - and could afford it - we could
go after them for 'trademark infringement', but I rather doubt that it
would be worth the trouble ...

Maybe there will be a day when if you register a domain NAME, all the
extensions automatically go with it unless you opt to decline. Sheesh...
When I registered artfestivalguide I took the .info, .com, and .org and
costs 4 times what one domain would be.
I'm sure someone will grab .net, .us, .bs, .whoknowswhat, etc.

Thanks David......I thought I had replied but obviously not......and
yes...it's the middle of baseball season here so I am very busy. Unless we
ask Dave Bull to write some fancy code I don't think there is an easy way
to drop individuals from the blog notification list as it goes to all
subscribed members...and if there is a guy that's even busier now that for
sure is Dave.....so please treat the notifications like any other
individual post and delete it or forward it to a garbage folder.

Top-level domains such as '.com', '.org' and '.co.uk' are the opposite of
extensions -- they're the root of the whole domain system. Domains cascade
down from these roots, and a domain in .com is utterly unrelated to a domain
in .org, etc. Think of them as completely different clans that could be
headquartered anywhere in the world. By this analogy if you register
'fred.com' and 'fred.org', etc, you're just getting hold of a whole bunch of
unrelated sites with the same Christian name :-)

Cheers,

Send Message: To this poster

Everyone,

For those who might be interested, I finally followed up on this. The
suggested colors were:

Cyan: Phthalo Blue Green (PB15.3)
Magenta: Quinacridone Pink Magenta (PR122)
Yellow: Dalamar (PY74) or Hansa (PY3)

I'll be testing them for my next print.
