    Once I heard Bobby say:
    Hmmm, actually more than once... anyway as Bobby sang:"And at last it's the real thing Or close enough to pretend" So we can pretend to chat, which we are doing, it's just not in "real time". I am still and yet grateful to the site for taking care of us 'patients' as Ami called us. Are we running the asylum now?

    I figured it was a techno issue, because I was a bit crude at times and wasn't booted for misbehavin', as for paranoia, that's just a carry over from my way back daze. Mary & Jonathan deserve the special super dooper award for patience for dealing with us patients. Take care, Ami

    well,that sues my soul,because i had exactly the same problem.i really believed it was something personal.that paranoia developed until a point where i started bombarding mary and jonathan (ask them) with PMs that were not so polite,like i tried to be in the chat.but as the revolution arouse i began to understand that i would have to buy a wooden finger,like anybody else:-)(-:

    Listening to...
    ... Dick's Picks 5 from the Oakland Aud, (which became the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center). What a 'cozy' venue, newer and cleaner than Winterland, right near BART, and that great park right next door too. Believe me, most of us never hung out around Winterland after the shows... Anyway the encore of this one is a real nice Shakedown St. into Uncle John's band!!! May I suggest you pick this one up, and enjoy the ride?

    And today
    It had just become so ill-behaved. People couldn't stay on for more than 30 seconds at a time. It started to become more of a graffiti room than a chat room, so if we have to live with that, then this is a much more stable way of doing so. Thanks, marye for coming up with a creative solution to the problem. Guess we'll just have to yak in slow motion until they get it sorted out. Looking forward to news of same. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Anyone else having problems with the store..............I ordered the winterland set and got a confirmation email with no ups tracking info....I went in and sent customer service a message and they sent me back the WRONG tracking number. 411 shows and counting. One day I'll actually get around to listing them all.

I think I got kicked out for inactivity... about 5 minutes or so without posting. anyways, there is still a 30 second delay for posts? can't the 'puter specialists remove that delay? or cut it down to 5 seconds. hard to actually 'chat' if there is a delay.

I wonder if the chat room, would in effect, replace the usual forum, and the number of posts would drop significantly... but the chat room still seems a bit too sporadic and full of hinky delays at the moment me thinks. peace.

let's keep an eye on the situation. I see the duplicate post bug is alive and well, so there may be underlying issues. The whole site is about to migrate to a new hosting service, which may take care of some of the weird behavior. Or introduce a fresh crop....

was slow the other day, too. Tiger Lilly and I were in a kind of Frick and Frack bit, going back and forth between slow private messages and trying to use the chat troom. are you here? are YOU here?... also, this may be, probably, a local issue, but on my old iboook Mac, 2001 version, I can't chat at all. I can see and use the forum,no problemo, but I can't read the chat stuff or write on it. My old lady's 'puter is windows, some old HP piece of shit lap top, but that works fine with chat. is the chat windows only?? seems unfair if so. I'm frigging Steve Jobs over here. ( -:

Where you goin' with that Mac in your hands? Chat works fine with Firefox on linux, so it's certainly not "Windoze Only." The chatroom is heavily dependent on a browser technology called Javascript, though, and if it's been a while since you updated your web browser software then that may be the issue. Just makin' a suggestion, that's all. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

with Firefox, and chat works fine. But a 2001 model might not run something necessary, as mine seems to be at the old end of what the software will run on.

old dog can't learn those new trix... the only Firefox I ever heard of was a piss poor Clint Eastwood movie, or was it Tommy Cruise... the only Java I know comes from beans. you know, a cup of 'Joe' ( -; seriously, though, not a big deal really to borrow her 'puter, and as I remember, I think I got up to Panther on the Mac software, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, so I am outdated again, because the original version wouldn't run a newer ipod or something like that. thanks for the advice and helpful hints. and once you go Mac, you never go back! what's better than a Mac in your lap? (please fill in the blanks with a sure to be deleted by the moderator POOR TASTE joke) yuk yuk yuk peace.

the chatroom has had lag issues quite a bit lately, so it's probably not just you!

I really haven't experienced the "lag time" thing. I think perhaps some of our older members may actually be nodding off at the keyboard. Hence the lag?
