I was all set to join the chat today with Prof. David Crystal, but when I tried, I got an error message that because of "firewall" or "proxie server" problems, I couldn't connect. Well, I don't use proxies at all and as far as I know, all or most servers use firewalls for protection... any ideas out there???

See Bingley's *!@%&* thread below... I'm connecting from home (no virtual firewall here) and haven't been able to get in to any of the chats. Something about applets....

Am I missing something or is there a problem with the transcription of the latest AWAD chat? I am still waiting to read about the chat with David Crystal that I missed to join first hand. Does anybody know? I e-mailed using feedback but heaven knows when or if I will get an answer.

belM,
Remember what tsuwm taught us... (YARTing toward Bethlehem)... don't quote the whole thread, it distends the window.
This suffices:

Welcomings and commiserations. To get to the man behind the curtain, I suggest you contact Jackie or wow.

Oh dear! Thank you for the vote of confidence but my one answer from The Great Wordsmith was a one in a lifetime thing!

Thanks to AnnaStrophic and Wow for commiserating. Today I was informed that the transcript to David Crystal's chat is now available. The man behind the curtain answered!
