Nice to hear from you again, Arturo. Be nice to hear from Randy or someone who can explain the fiasco.

Those of you who didn't get the invitation: Please check your FT profiles. There is an option "Allow administrators and moderators to send you email? Yes/No". I'm only speculating that it may have been set to no for those who didn't receive the e-mail. Hope this helps.
I can't see any other correlation between receiving the email and number of posts, date of registration, or anything like that.

Please see the "Use Your Miles Chat Explanation" at the top of each forum in the announcements area. 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.

Anyone interested in the "Official Explanation" can now find it here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum75/HTML/000015.html
I've removed it from the announcements to make room for the next hot topic.
Thanks for your support.

Randy,
I am not sure you got the feedback you really wanted from the chat. I was there... and was honestly confused over whether or not I was answering all your questions.
If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to ask me. I want to add as much value to this board as possible.
