I see that Bonnie is the moderator for this Tribe...how about a nudge to the folks suddenly posting off-topic threads to get back to their knitting? I don't need to hire a lawyer, attend a workshop on relationships or dreams. The post about the fingerless glove pattern is at least on topic (although having lived through the commercialism phase on the Socknitters mail list...before the restriction was imposed that ads could only post on the 1st and 15th of each month we were briefly innundated by more ads than content...I can see why Tribe etiquette has encouraged only Listing for product announcements).

In short...why the sudden shift away from KNITTING?
