..."Our tech department will bring you up-to-date on the fact that the compnay that provides the technology of the chat session decided, without notice, to release their new version of the software that night which made the version we use unavailable. We didn't know and it was a real problem. Also the fact that many people wanted to engage in "Private Chat" which wasn't possible to any real degree because of all the people on line that night. We only selected a small number of FTers and it was our luck that most of you had nothing else to do. We thought we'd have 18-24 people which would have been a nice group, try 140 aggitated FTers which we don't blame, but consider how I felt with technology that didn't work, no one else in the building but me and all but Dan not home to help and none could have known about the software change anyway. A night to forget I hope for most of you, for me, it will be a night I'll never forget. We are accounting for the miles to all those who attented that night and posted a response to any question."
