What an utter 100% swizz!!! I spent ages trying to get registered and
"chatting"... Absolute zilch! All I saw were two pages of "previous debate"
with the bottom line from "Jeff" saying "hi Janet..." What a waste of
time! Don't know who Jeff is... Suppose it must be Jeffrey C. Jones who
told us about it?

I have never been in an on-line chatroom in my life, so maybe I was just
not getting it. Perhaps everyone is chatting away as I speak? Whole of
Clayart and some? I cannot stand it... Boo! Hoo! Not only not able to go,
but now excluded from TALKING too... Ye, Gods....

Maybe there is a lesson to be learned here? When setting up anything NEVER
depend on the previous knowledge level of the mixed audience you are
addressing! You have got to accommodate idjuts like me as well as those
whizz-kids who are top of the class!

Janet Kaiser - In a terrible huff in Criccieth... Eckhard will wonder
what's wrong... All "interpreting ceramics" fault if I bite his head off...
Poor man!

Hi Janet,

Even though I have the latest version of IE, I could only make the
chat program work by checking the "chat lite" box. But nobody seemed to be
there.
