| This is a personal
website, created for my entertainment only. I built and maintain this
website myself, in my spare time. No one pays me to do this. I paid to
register my domain name myself. I pay every month to have my site
hosted professionally. I have no paid advertising on my site, nor do I
want any. I am NOT selling patterns or yarn or knitted items.
I will not make photocopies of copyrighted work and mail them to
you, either free or for payment. Please do not ask.
A lot of people think that I owe them something:
- I get complaints that I don't post
to my blog often enough -- it's not enough that I post every
weekday, apparently I'm supposed to post on weekends too.
- I get email from people asking me
a question the answer to which is on my blog, either in a recent
post or on the sidebar (which I find a little insulting because it
means the writer doesn't want to bother reading what I've written
but expects me to drop everything and send a personal response), or
wants me to do an internet search for something for him/her that
said writer could easily do his/herself..
- I get email from people who want me to email them
copyrighted information and patterns.
- I get email from people who want
me to knit them something for a hilariously low fee.
- I get email from people who want
me to endorse your product or advertise your website. If I use
something and like it, I'll mention it. If I visit a website and
find it worth mentioning, I'll mention it. If I read a book I'll
post a review, if I am so moved. Like I said, this site is free. I
don't accept paid advertisement and I'm not going to give you any
free advertising, unless I feel the need to share my experience with
a product -- good or bad.
I have a life, I have a fulltime job. I do not feel that my mission in
life is to respond to people who are getting something for nothing and
are still not satisfied. If, however, you would like to email me to say something complimentary
(like: "Oh! Your website is the most useful resource on the internet!"
or "Oh! I just looked at your photo and can't believe how gorgeous you
are!") or to ask a legitimate knitting-related question (like: "I
noticed you used such-and-such a yarn for such-and-such a design --
what did you think of the yarn?" or "how difficult would you rate
such-and-such a design?" or "What AS (or Dale) design would you
recommend to a beginner?") please feel free to do so. I will respond
politely and with good humor.
Don't get me wrong -- I do love hearing from you guys. But sometimes
the best place to ask a question or say something is in my comments.
That way someone else who knows the answer may be able to supply it
before I can get to it.
Thank you. |
