Mr Fowles.
I'm assuming the inability to engage in chat last night was a matter beyond your (or any other member's) control as the server was (and still is, at the time of composing this message) unable to establish a connection.
Could you please advise what actions you're contemplating taking to rectify this "communication breakdown" ?
Silence from my neighbours 17 feet away is always welcome .... an enforced silence from my sisters and brothers in the North Country(ies) 17,000 miles away is not.
